I'm using Gentoo Linux and installed FB 3.0.2 from the usual package manager. Besides some confusion where "firebird.msg" should reside (the fbsql client seeks at /usr/lib/firebird, but it was installed at /usr/share/firebird/msg), everything was smooth. > 2 - i am not really a linux user , what is the best place/directory to put > the fdb databases ? Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard#Directory_structure I decided that something under /var should be appropriate. On my former system, I just created /var/fbdata, but on my current system, because /var/db already existed, I put a folder /var/db/firebird there. /srv, as Lester Caine already stated, seems to be a good idea either, according to Wikipedia. (It's just that Gentoo doesn't have /srv at all; web servers are at /var/www.) > 3 - i have several databases for differents custumers (20 / 30 or more), can > a single firebird server handle many databases correctly ? I guess 200-300 databases aren't any problem either :-) -Matt
