Works well on all supported OS's (Windows, UNIX, Linux). It may depend
somewhat on how much memory you have since there are different DB2 limits
for each if you are using 32 bit versions.

Well, I am getting a server with the following specs:
dual xeon 2.8 mhz
4gb of ram

By comparing win2k server and linux, which one is a better option as
far as speed goes?

I believe that DB2 can address more memory on Windows 2K (important for DB2
Buffer Pools) than Linux. I may be wrong, but I think W2K DB2 memory limit
is about 3GB and Linux is closer to 1 GB.

That brings up an interesting question. Is he running 32-bit or 64-bit
DB2? 64-bit lifts any addressability limitations. And I think the 32-bit
limit on Linux is actually about 1.7GB. Can't remember what it is on Win2k.

For 64-bit DB2 on Windows, you need one of:
Windows XP, Windows .Net, Windows 2003

The limit for DB2 shared memory on 32-bit Windows is 3 GB (larger if you
use AWE).

The limit on 32-bit Linux is tis about 2.2 GB with
SuSE SLES 8 service pack 2 and DB2 v8.1 FixPak 2 or later.

Well I've heard about something called "4GB/4GB split kernel" that
should allow you to do 3 GB - on RH and SuSE, but I have no idea if IBM
has ever tested this. Perhaps a linux guru (bb?) can enlighten us.
