In Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Firebird2.1.1 is included by default The Firebird2.1 package (version 2.1.1) for Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10, Hardy 8.04, Gutsy 7.10, Feisty 7.04, Dapper 6.06 is located into this repository (ppa) The repository must be added into sources.list , Here is the example for Intrepid Ibex

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and you should add these lines

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mapopa/ubuntu intrepid main

Then you need to update the cache repository

sudo apt-get update

Here is how you can inspect the firebird2.1 related packages

apt-cache search firebird2.1-*

install the super server package (you will be asked about the SYSDBA password and what service to enable :Super Server or Classic )

sudo apt-get install firebird2.1-super

The following extra packages will be installed:
  firebird2.1-common firebird2.1-server-common libedit2 libfbclient2 libicu38

Or install Classic if you have more than one cpu (dual core or SMP machine) and want SMP support

sudo apt-get install firebird2.1-classic

You need to configure the package after is installed

sudo dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.1-super

$sudo apt-get install firebird2.1-examples firebird2.1-dev 

The employee.fdb archive will be under this dir /usr/share/doc/firebird2.1-examples/examples/empbuild/

$cd /usr/share/doc/firebird2.1-examples/examples/empbuild/
$sudo gunzip employee.fdb.gz
$sudo chown firebird.firebird employee.fdb
$sudo mv employee.fdb /var/lib/firebird/2.1/data/

connect to db

$ isql-fb

SQL> connect "/var/lib/firebird/2.1/data/employee.fdb " user 'SYSDBA' password 'SYSDBApassword';

Now you can check the server version and the tables

SQL> show tables;
       COUNTRY                                CUSTOMER
       DEPARTMENT                             EMPLOYEE
       EMPLOYEE_PROJECT                       JOB
       PROJECT                                PROJ_DEPT_BUDGET
       SALARY_HISTORY                         SALES

SQL> show version;
SQL> quit
CON>;
