Thank you for your answer. There are 4 (from client standpoint equal) binary packages: firebird-c32-server_1.0.0-3_i386.deb firebird-s32-server_1.0.0-3_i386.deb firebird-c64-server_1.0.0-3_i386.deb firebird-s64-server_1.0.0-3_i386.deb 32/64 means if it is compiled with 32bin I/O or 64bin I/O. On older, but more stable kernels (2.2.X) there's only 32bit I/O available (2GB single database file limit applies). On newer - one cane use both 32 and 64 bit I/O versions. 'c' and 's' in the name stand for 'classic' and 'super' architecture. Classic - there's new process started for every client, inetd is used to start new processes. Scales better as it allows the distriubution of processes on different processors (on SMP machines), but it needs more memory. Super - there's new thread started for every client, no inetd needed as it has it's daemon. Uses only one CPU, but also uses less memory. So any you pick - it should work. You can find further information on firebird site and in mailing lists archives. http://firebird.sourceforge.net/ Best regards Grzegorz Prokopski PS: Bob, I decided to Cc: the list as the others can have the same dilema as You. I hope You'd have nothing against it.
