Linux databases

[Jordi Ferrando Fabra]

I prefer 1.5.4 over 2.0.1, version 2 is still too inmature for me. If 
you wish to install it using apt-get or synaptic,
$ sudo apt-get install firebird2-super-server

Then you can download flamerobin admin tool, http://www.flamerobin.org/, 
that is "good enough" and play with the database.
