Firebird ver 2.5.7.27050 64 bits
Superserver
Windows Server 2012R2

I am planning to change the operating system that hosts our ERP's Firebird Databases from Windows Server 2012R2 to Linux and I have some questions about it:


  1. Which Linux distribution do you recommend? I have experience using Centos. 
  2. Which Linux file system do you recommend? (ext3 ext4, etc) 
  3. Do you recommend using a journaling file system?
  4. One of the requirements is that the Firebird has to be 2.5.7.27050 but as of today the current version is 2.5.8.27089: is there a repository of past firebird versions?

Thanks in advance for your help
