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.      |

| Re: Which OS is the best option to install DB2 Universal DataBase Workgroup Server Unlimited Edition? 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 may be wrong, but I think W2K DB2 memory limit is about 3GB and Linux is closer to 1 GB. |

| Re: Which OS is the best option to install DB2 Universal DataBaseWorkgroup Server Unlimited Edition? 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.

| Re: Which OS is the best option to install DB2 Universal DataBaseWorkgroup Server Unlimited Edition? For 64-bit DB2 on Windows, you need one of: Windows XP, Windows .Net, Windows 2003 Mark A wrote: > "Larry" <Larry@nospam.net> wrote in message > news:8FWlc.130345$Gd3.31593249@news4.srv.hcvlny.cv .net... > >>That brings up an interesting question.

| Re: Which OS is the best option to install DB2 Universal DataBaseWorkgroup Server Unlimited Edition? 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. Larry wrote: > That brings up an interesting question.

| Re: Which OS is the best option to install DB2 Universal DataBaseWorkgroup Server Unlimited Edition? 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.
