Support for RedHat Enterprise v3

Now that RedHat has officially released Enterprise version 3, has
anyone heard when IBM will have support for this OS?

I would like to help Jack in pushiing this question back on top.

I'm also interested in knowing when RH AS 3.0 will be supported.

FP4 which is due in November.

from the DB2 side we will prereq DB2 V8.1.4 and you need JDK 1.4.1 (to be
able to run in the new thread model introduced in RHEL3). During the work
with RH we found certain items that are addressed in RHEL3 Update 1 which is
due in December.a notice should be ont he validation web site
http://ibm.com/db2/linux/validate soon.

Any chance that DB2 V8.1.4 and you need JDK 1.4.1 will work with RH9 without
the assume_kernel command? I know that it will not be a supported platform
by IBM, just wondering if it "might" work (off the record of course) for
non-production use for those who don't want to pay for RHEL3.

IBMJava2-SDK-1.4.1-0.0 from IBM's website seems to work ok for me in
non-production on RHL9, but I haven't tried it with DB2. There is a
IBMJava2-SDK-1.4.1-9.i386.rpm on the RHEL3ES "extra" iso image,
however. But looking over the RHEL3 "license", what you pay for is
support (up2date for Basic level). There are projects to generate
"free" iso images (from the source rpms that Red Hat gives away) if
you google for them.

careful - the Fedora project, aka the "free isoimages" are not supported and
are not identical to the commercial RH versions. For more infos on RHEL3 we
have now a website... RH is still working on releasing their errate as far
as I know...

Please don't top post! And I never mentioned Fedora at all, so please
don't confuse the issue for the others in this group. That said, the
"free" iso images of RHEL3 are at:

sorry but your link to Whitebox linux would not qualify for a fully
supported validated platform. I understand the intentions from the group
there but this does nto help for production use of a database - I doubt that
RedHat will give you support if you use this way of getting their product
(and I would suggest to have this discussion with RedHat - this is nto the
group for it).
