I want links for downloading IBM softwares for tgmc (LINUX supported softwares). So if anyone know it..... plz share it

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

i'm doing the social networking one ... i hope you're used to linux.. because getting IBM software running is a big pain... go to technical resources in the tgmc 2011 page
and download eclipse, Websphere community edition and db2 expressc , you'll have to register.

yes....

remember one thing, if u use linux, the ibm software is much more difficult to install, i have still not been able to get all of it working... if you dont have someone in your college to guide you.. then you might as well go with windows XP .. not vista or 7

 

[bijay_ps]

but I thought its supported by windows 7 32-bit. Anyway thanks alot for your advice
