Ubuntu Linux Forges Tighter DB2 Ties
IBM's DB2 has long been a Linux-friendly, cross-platform database. But as of this week, there will be improved coexistence between DB2 and the latest Ubuntu 6.06 Linux release.
The latest IBM database will now download and deploy easily from the Ubuntu desktop. If users want DB2, they can go to the download site, and Ubuntu automates the download and installs it.
The Linux distribution is free and includes five years of server security updates. Customers can have a strict service-level guarantee and can license that from Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. Canonical and IBM collaborated on the database/Linux integration.
