I assume DB2 supports Ubuntu as part of its ambitions to foster better developer penetration. Under the leadership of Janet Perna DB2 was the least developer savvy software brand at IBM. Today, on the contrary, the database folks are all about developers, and are leading now IBM SWG leaders in areas such as PHP support.
