Phil: The price of DB2 UDB V8.1 Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) is the same on all platforms (Windows, Linux or any UNIX). There is a product called DB2 UDB V81. There is also Workgroup Server Unlimited Edition (WSUE), which is about 1/3 the price of ESE, but it is limited to 32-bit hardware and a maximum of four processors. And then there is Workgroup Server Edition (WSE) which has the same hardware restrictions and costs less, but adds a per user charge and has some usage restrictions. IBM charges the same price for the same product no matter what the platform for these products. Regards, Jim
