Introduction to User-Mode Linux
Originally conceived as a kernel developer's tool, UML lets you set up multiple virtual machines that are isolated from each other and from the hardware. Now, you can test applications all the way to failure without breaking the host system -- or even requiring a reboot. Veteran administrator Carla Schroder shows you how.

Using Python to access DB2 for Linux
Python is a great tool to use with DB2 Version 8. It combines the ability to quickly and simply access a DB2 database with the power to perform more complex tasks that require a general-purpose programming language. You'll learn about the Python DB2 module using the sample that ships with DB2 Version 8.1.
