Ugh. Are they trying to make themselves look more like Oracle?!?
Why do these vendors insist on having a GUI to install a server software
package?? Do they think UDB, Websphere, and Oracle administrators can't
type?
Craziness I say!

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Yes, the new DB2 8.1 code requires you to use a gui install "widget" on all
platforms. On S/390, that means that you must have X-Windows code installed
on your image, have the client running, and have an X-Windows server
available on a PC or workstation.
Of course a lot of workstation and PC based Linux distributions have this
feature installed and enabled by default, so it's no big deal to have it as
a requirement.....on S/390 it's another matter.....
