Ok, point taken... Some people may argue that DB2 on z/OS is the perfect solution, I tend to disagree. But at least customers could be offered a choice, and I don't consider DB2 on AIX or Windows or even Linux on Intel a choice.
I agree with you, and wish for a SAP + DB2 EE on Linux for IBM System z. Personally I can see many, many unique features of having the DB under Linux rather then on z/OS - cloning for example. (e.g. complete snapshot images of SAP+DB). DB2 Partitioning could be done between Linux Guests and across CECs. But this is a prime example fo the difference between Opensource and Proprietary. IBM+SAP have to financially justify the development of installation tools and documentation, testing, and certification time, and then the ongoing support. At present it is not going to happen, the only thing that could swing this is the community to become more vocal about it. Once a demand is really seen, justification follows. mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
