<<Any idea when the linux port will be available ?>>

A linux port of Firebird 1.0x is already available, since 1.5 isn't shipping as a "finished" version
yet, a Linux version for this
will probably lag the final release date by a couple of months at least. Although we intend to start
working on a beta version for 1.5
as soon as we get our act together.
