IBM DB2 Express-C 9.7.5 SLES11 SP1 64-bit
This template allows you to easily experience the power of IBM DB2 Express-C 9.7 FP5 running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1. DB2 Express-C is a no-charge community edition of DB2 for trial, demonstration, development, and production use.
The template also includes the Technology Explorer for IBM DB2, which is a web-based console to let you manage and learn more about your database. The Workload Multiuser Driver (WMD) is also set up and allows multiple users to run multiple user definable workloads concurrently against a DB2 database and can be controlled through the Technology Explorer (TE). Many settings such as the number of active connections to the database can be increased or decreased on-the-fly.
The configuration interfaces embedded in this template configure the required DB2 users and optionally set up the DB2 sample database.

Hi RENSLOR,
I guess I am 15 days late in replying. Thanks, I will definitely take your comments in consideration!
Awesome! I like it but on the set up you should change where you don’t have to set up your host-name and other stuff manually just change it to auto detect DHCP or whatever and another thing you can do is edit the script to make the theme or whatever better i am not bossing you around just giving you some advice but still this is a great os and i am downloading it!!!
and IBM is a good name!
