Most of the popular distros have Firebird in their "archives" making it
in many cases incredibly easy to install and set up.
For example, I have a 300 mhz machine, which is just running debian. To
install firebird was just a single command (apt-get install
firebird-super-server) and then answer a single question of what the
master password would be.
That's it.
