Thank you Kumar for the prompt response, but actually I did walk through that document and it just talk about Windows and Unix, nothing regarding Linux and this goes for the server and the client CDs

Have you searched for "Hardware and Software Requirements"?
Linux should be same as AIX but with the changes that been mentioned.

Husam, there should also be a "readme" document with your software. This contains latest changes, and probably contains some Linux-specific information. As far as I can recall (it's ages since I've done a Linux installation), it's not that different from UNIX - the main differences are in the preparation; the actual commands you use to configure the operating system ready to receive and execute DataStage.

Just took a quick glance through dsupgde.pdf; it seems to mention Linux at all the relevant points, occasionally with URL references to Linux instructions (for example for setting up paging space).
