Ubuntu 9.10 and DB?

(1/1)

Testlund:
Anyone tried running DB on this OS? I've just bought a new laptop today and would like to try this OS if DB works on it.  

Numsgil:
DB2 should work under Linux if you don't mind a bit of effort.  See Linux install directions.

Peter:
Tried it before on ubuntu 9.04. I didn't go through the steps mentioned, and you could run a simulation without changing anything. Just run exe with wine.

I had to register one dll in the end, because it gave a dll missing error(or something) when I tried to modify sim-costs.

Be aware though, at times you can have a hard time figuring simple things out in ubuntu. For example installing a printer may be a hard task, if the specific printer has drivers at all for linux <.< . On the other side, the user interface beats windows with ease.

Edit: UI as in the way it looks and interacts. Doing something new can be a pain.
