I haven't been able to find Stripped Linux using either Google or
Distrowatch. If it is a distribution tell us where to find more info
about it. If it is not a distribution, why did you write Stripped with
capital S?

Anyway, without knowing what is actually stripped, it's not easy to
help you. Some stripped distros I know don't even have GNU libc, but
use some 99% compatible alternatives. Also, on most of them, you won't
even find libstdc++, in which case it might be better to compile a
'stripped' c++ library for the system on your own and then compile
Firebird against it (so you don't need to have multiple copies of
libstdc++ in memory).

Could you be a little bit more precise regarding 'very very limited
space'? How much is it? Also, how much memory you have?

Depending on your setup, Classic might be good. But SuperServer is
also a viable option, esp. if your stripped version doesn't include
(x)inetd.

If you mean "the source code", you can get it at the Firebird website
in download section.

How many remote clients simultaneously?
