I agree there are other advantages to Open Source, but database people
do consider that LINUX will run  on their 390 as well as on their
smaller servers and desktops.  This is important for DB2 people, since
you can also get LINUX based tools.



Having a database from a company that supports every major operating
system and platform is nice, but each code base is slightly different
in each OS, each set of available tools is slightly different, etc. It
starts to add up fast when you realize that ReportWriter-X only runs on
Windows and not the mainframe, that DataDictionary-Y is only on OS/390,
etc.
