Subject Re: [firebird-support] Which distribution Linux is best for use with Firebird?

Hello Lester

You are right, my English is not very good, but I hope that people
understand me.

The idea is to have a computer with Linux and Windows on them, that's the
main case. The second (and infrequent) case would be a computer with just
Linux.

In both cases the disc or partition with Linux is just for to have the
databases there. All our software is made for Windows.

We dont' want (neither need) to use some Linux program, just the basic for
to save and accessing the databases.

Greetings.

Walter.
