Just received my DB2v6.1(Linux) eval CD this evening and there *was* mention
of the Personal Edition. Apparently (according to the documentation), PE
needs to work with the Personal Connect Edition in order to be accessed from
other systems on the network (which is what Raimee is doing -- apologies,
Raimee! I was wrong!), but there is no way you can access it directly
without Connect (so, I was half right too).
