[svlug] IBM certifies Ubuntu as a stable platform for DB2

[Ron Hinchley]

Actually I assume it is my fault. I posted some time ago to svlug. I had 
a standard install from fresh disks. I started the service, it says it 
is running, did the basic configuration following the Redhat Linus 
Bible, but I cannot connect as root from local host. I am sure it is 
something simple. I am not at the machine now, I am chained to my desk 
for the weekend.
