Linux + DB2 + php

Which Linux 64-bit has better support on this?
I am thinking of using Ubuntu 8.10 just for development use.
RedHat is not an option here.

Thanks

re: Linux + DB2 + php

One thing you may not have picked up about Ubuntu is that there are actually DB2 Express-C packages included in the "Partners" repository.

The latest Ubuntu version they are currently there for is Hardy Heron (8.04) : they haven't yet made it for Intrepid Ibex (8.10).

But the Hardy ones have already been updated to 8.5.0.2 level : this was only released a couple of weeks ago.

If you want to try this route for installing then make sure the Partners section is enabled in your sources.list and install package db2exc (for x86) or db2exc-amd64 (for x86_64).

I've been running Express-C on Ubuntu for quite some time ... even have it running on eeeXubuntu on my little Asus eeePC 701 (is this the world's smallest DB2 server ?) !!!

There seems to be some confusion over this. The web-pages have
consistently stated for some time now that DB2 9.5 is supported
(recommended even!) on Ubuntu 7.10. Unfortunately, the support team appear
to have a different list of supported platforms - see for example [1].
I've also run into this myself; we run DB2 quite happily on Ubuntu 7.10
(64-bit), but have been told by support it's not a supported platform
(which admittedly has made the decision to upgrade to 8.04 LTS rather
easier - just means we'll be moving from an unofficially not supported
platform to a platform which is not officially supported ... or something
like that ;-)

If you're just doing development work I doubt it's of any particular
concern, but if you're planning a production deployment eventually it's
something to bear in mind.
