Linux Compatibilities

Because of a history of problems with the GNU C++ compiler, Firebird 1.5 Linux versions need higher versions of the glibc runtimes than previously. This means, unfortunately, that we are in a period where the capability of a particular distro to install and run the 1.5 binaries is somewhat hard to predict.

The following matrix may help. However, we welcome further information. Please share your experiences with these and other distros in the firebird-devel forum.
