Announcements of new Firebird related products, or new releases.
from dbdesc blog: Even though you can connect with a Firebird 2.0 server to document a database, using the local (embedded) connection does not work because it needs the new fbembed.dll version. I’ve uploaded a maintenance release (2.0.1) to address this issue. Installer size has grown a little (~1 MB) because of the updated Firebird libraries.
Not exactly or not only firebird-related, but here it goes anyway…
The new version 1.5 of InstantBDExpress (IBDX) is now available. IBDX is a component library designed to ease the conversion of existing BDE applications over to the dbExpress technology.
This is the first publicly available release of IBDX, which has been used in-house to support conversion projects for our customers in the
last two years.
IBDX is available for Delphi 7 and Delphi 2006; as per our hassle-free policy, the trial version doesn’t have any limitations or expiration;
it only lacks the sources.
Point your browsers to the following site for more information, documentation, prices and trial download:

This is an ambitious project for sure. I have a small office LAN that I really want to convert from Windows to Linux and am seeking any and all advice.
