Easy Firebird Installation

The best web browser on earth is now easy to install on Windows. Just download the .exe file, double-click the icon and follow the instructions.

It even found my outdated, earlier installation of Firebird, even though it was in a non-standard folder.


Comments: Easy Firebird Installation

I don't expect Windows users to switch to Linux, but for web browsers, come on... I hear/see countless people complaining about some IE grief (usually pop ups). I show them that Mozilla lets me turn them off (and on easily for specific sites where they are needed), tabbed browsing, and aliases, which wows them, but for some reason they won't use it themselves.

I don't get it. Maybe they don't think that it will work properly since it isn't made by Microsoft (ha ha ha).

I estimate that my web surfing experience is 95% more pleasant than that of the average IE user ;)

Yes, this is one of those rare occasions where we not only think we're so much smarter than everyone else, but truly are. :)

Hi, do you have an easy firebird installation on RedHat 8 or 9?

Thanks.

Well, I'd imagine you can look for the RPMs and use those. If not that, then download the .tgz file, do tar -xzf [whatever], cd [directory] and then read the README and INSTALL files.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
