Wouldn't it be too hard to decide which setup to leave? How
can you decide for me whether I need CS or SS, or embedded
without risking that I loose my interest in the database.
Each one of the versions seems to have a benefit the others
don't, but also suffers from "features" the others are free
of.

I think that it would be much more beneficial to FB
community if a major Linux distro included it by default,
and that we might want concentrate our efforts around that
goal. If Fedora, or Mandrake or others include Firebird
then everybody will suddenly loose their confusion ad
FireBird Foundation can not only keep the current versions,
but even add new ones, including FireBlue for boys and
FirePink for gals.

Are there any updates on where this stands now? (I don't
mean the colors).
