Today i have installed Debian Lenny in an kqemu/kvm virtual machine (managed by virt-manager under ubuntu jaunty )
firebird by default there is 2.0.4 so i wanted the latest firebird2.1 stable from debian so i just dist upgraded the lenny to sid
by replacing all lenny words from /etc/apt/sources.list with sid then i did from console
an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade after that i have now access to firebird2.1 just released for sid
then in terminal apt-get install firebird2.1-super and after that dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.1-super
The main firebirdsql.org website was down , the server had an power supply failure , and now seems that Sean changed the server too
From Suse to Debian , Any problems detected with website please report to Firebird-website mailing list

Another article about Mufin Music Player mentions Firebird:
The installation went smoothly, although it took a little more time than I expected because I had to download and install the open-source SQL Firebird desktop database.
Check the full article here.
I was looking for some tutorial about configuring Squirrel SQL (http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/) to connect to firebird database and unfortunately i couldn’t find one . So when i finally managed to connect, i thought of publishing the steps in my log so that it could be useful to some one else.
Configuring Squirrel Sql to connect to firebird was much easier than i thought.
