You can find this white paper on the DB2 Wiki, which if you don’t visit very often, you’ll be very happy with the outstanding amount of technical information you’ll find on the site.

If you want to get the IBM DB2 and Canonical Ubuntu white paper directly, click the title to go directly to the PDF.

This paper will help you to get started with DB2 9.7 on Ubuntu 10.04. You can use this paper to perform the following tasks:
• Understand the differences between all DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows editions.
• Install DB2 9.7 Express-C on Ubuntu 10.04
• Practice simple SQL queries against a sample database.

Thanks to Andre for sending me this information!  I hope you find it useful.

Personal Tidbit:

Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving on October 11 and Americans celebrate this Thursday, November 25.  Much of our daily work involves direct interaction with Americans, so this is a relatively quiet week for we Canadians.  So, what do we do when it is so quiet?  We catch up on work that we haven’t been able to get to, read or take education, and most importantly we have team based events to celebrate the amazing people we get to work with on a daily basis.
