Last time I asked (and I work for IBM), the price was USD$250,000 to get them to _think_ about making a port, and then they'd have to get people to actually buy it. FreeBSD 5.0 satisfies a lot of the pre-requisites for the most recent DB2 implementation, so the landscape may be shaping up for this to become a reality in the future. Any interested parties should contact me directly. -- Matt Emmerton
