Daniel, my steps with IB/FB were IB4 CS on SCO - IB6 SS on Linux -
FB CS on Linux. When I tried Super on dual machine, it could'nt use
second processor and frozed all connections when performing heavy
query. After a week of nightmares (differences in IB4/IB6 optimizers
caused some my queries in triggers to become very heavy and it was'nt
noticed when testing, on production server only) I returned to
Classic. In FB1.5 there was made efforts on SS improvement but I
have'nt in mind to try it again, I'm pretty happy with CS.

Best regards,
Alexander.
