The following table describes the default disk locations for the components on Windows and Linux.
In the major codebase revision starting at v.1.5, the old hard links to InterBase artifacts were removed and many of the major components were renamed. As a result, Firebird 1.5 permits a running InterBase® server to be present, provided the two servers don't listen on the same TCP/IP port. If you need this feature, read Configuring the port service in the Release Notes that came with your Firebird installation (look in the doc subdir).
