The all perform similarly, so the best is the one you are most familiar with.

Firebird uses the kernel, networking and filesystem. You should base your choices around these options:

- which kernel 2.4 or 2.6
- which filesystem ext2, ext3, reiserfs, XFS or JFS (maybe others?)

As you know, most distributions provide all options, so you should really pick what you find easiest
for you to administer and support. Firebird simply does not care.

BTW, I run it on Mandrake and Slackware in production (some of the sites have 30+ users). Works like
a charm.
