Mark, that's great -- not your hard-earned experience with DB2 (that sucks),
but your offer to do a tech review. Golden. Many thanks.
I'm not dead yet: I'll help Ian learn the ropes of the LDP,
contributing some content to the HOWTO, and converting it into
nice clean DocBook XML once the tech reviewers & editors are happy.
The old DB2 Version 7.1 for Linux HOWTO was still bringing in some
comments at the start of this year, but they seem to have tapered off;
if the DB2 Version 8.2 for Linux HOWTO is accepted we might be able
to get rid of the old document shortly thereafter.
