I'm using firebird on debian for years - without any problems. Presumably it does not really matter for firebird which distribution is used. > 2 - i am not really a linux user , what is the best place/directory > to put the fdb databases ? You can place them according to some standard documents as mentioned before. But, it is also ok to place them in an Directory /db or /usr/local/fbdata. > 3 - i have several databases for differents custumers (20 / 30 or > more), can a single firebird server handle many databases correctly ? This number of databases does not cause problems. >ou should think about spreading to multiple servers once the workload on your server does raise and an single machine is not enough any more. Elmar
