Actually Red Hat does not support my lan card that is why i was asking for some other option. By the way i never addressed any one as a DB2 expert or an IBM employee. It was not mentioned any such kind of thing in prospectus that they gave me, that i will have to use any particular OS they just have mentioned that i would have to use LINUX and it was also not compulsory. I had just selected it because i didn't want to use Windows. By the way thanks again. reg rakesh > > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
