I have converted, tested and used our application in Linux enviroment
Although I do not use jdbc:firebirdsql:embedded but I open
pool with one connection only and use only one connection in our
applications
they pass all tests that we currently run. We have 8 applications that
use firebird embedded
and all they run on Linux.
