If your playing around with DB2 I think this is just fine, but it is not something used in large companies. I would suggest using Red Hat or Suse if you want to learn and play with a Unix based DB2.

Eheh. It’s not Free in the open source sense, but it’s entirely free (notice the lower case f) of charge. As strange as it may sound, the fact that it’s not open source simplifies the adoption of the database system a lot within large companies, who usually require lengthy processes and legal approvals by internal committees before they allow for user contributed software. As much as I like open source myself, DB2 not being open source has advantages within our (admittedly flawed) industry and anyone who works for a big company should already be aware of this.
