Good move. You should see a huge performance gain. Especially if you run
Firebird on a Linux server without X.

I have heard Mandrake is the easiest to configure? It's based on RedHat,
but geared more toward the home user.

Debian, is not that easy to get up and running. However upgrades and
updates are just an apt away.

If you want to take the hardest route, go Gentoo.

RedHat for businesses and enterprises. I am not sure any Linux OS is
"easy to configure". It depends on which one you mesh with, and you
skill set etc.

However if you want support and care about certifications and etc. use
RedHat. Keep in mind by support I am not referring to free support.
Although it is available in the usual forms, mailing list, newsgroups,
etc.
