Yeah, I know it's out there for linux.  I think it is free for
developers, or something like that.  Is it also available for Suns?  Of
course, I now have some IBM RS/6000s, so I could consider DB/2 on them,
maybe.  

I think that DB/2 has supposedly changed a lot in the last 10 years.
Like, my recall is that they have added more object relational
features.  

Of course, the ultimate way to get DB2 would either be on an AS/400 or a
S/390.  Database appliance, yeah.
