In this post I explained how to set up an embedded Firebird version for Linux.A few weeks ago I read a post from Olivier Mascia that explained a simpler way: instead of starting the program using a script that sets up a couple of environment variables, just callsetenv() to set those variables in the program.
There are many good articles in the archives about firebird and creating an accounting program with open source tools.

But you can install firebird from tar.gz or rpm (seems that basic linux installed there is based on Centos) after that the sky is the limit : django , ruby , php or why not extjs pascal web servers
Don’t forget about the replication and backups 😉 This seems to be better than google GAE or microsoft hosting: no limits on number of database or number of queries
ps:you can connect securely to firebird by creating a ssh tunnel
