[possibly OT]: anyone attempt running IBm DB2 for Linux, under
emulation on FreeBSD  Nathan Vidican nathan at vidican.com Thu
Oct 16 11:56:55 PDT 2003  I as recently approached by a client
of mine who is running (very happily so)  a FreeBSD machine as a
small-business server (using samba for file/print  sharing,
squid for proxy gateway, email, mySQL, and a few others). The
machine more than services the 50 or so people using it, and
maintains load  averages usually less than 1.  They have
recently bought into an application software which requires
IBM's  DB2 database back-end; it has been proposed that they
install a second server  running linux explicitly for the
purpose of running IBM's DB2 for Linux. The  key question now
being....  Can someone run IBm's DB2 for Linux, on a FreeBSD
box? If so, will it  maintain stability even if at the loss of
some performance versus running it  on an actual Linux box? Does
anyone have any experience with this, and/or has  anyone out
there tried this themselves yet? I hav
