You can learn the environment and tool stuff. All but the finer SQL points will match. Besides, a job that only uses what you know is not the best for your professional growth.

I think at one time IBM offered a DB2 trial/demo for Linux, I should have taken them up on it back when. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

(But I've only seen it on NT, I'd rather have a real command line SQL interpreter than the touchy feely graphical stuff. :=) "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth
