I plan to migrate to Linux.
The most recent versions would be

Lazarus 4
Firebird 5 (I use 4 at the moment, not sure, if I need 5 and what for)
IBX ?! (the homepage is down, just git around)
Flamerobin 2 (is Alpha, I lost sight of the versions, homepages and
links)
tvPlanit

Has anybody upgraded them all?
Will they work together?
IBX is the most important thing, I used is hundreds of times in my
code.

Do you have any hints / links of how to organize my working
environment?
I am used to Windows, which seems organized completely different than
Linux.

I've moved all IBX support to Github and mwasoftware.co.uk should
redirect there. This saves me the bother of maintaining the website
and gives better support tools, issue management, etc.

The current version should work with Lazarus 4 and Firebird 5 on
Linux. If there are any problems then please raise an issue on
https://github.com/MWASoftware/ibx4lazarus.

I've upgraded to Lazarus 4 and Firebird 5. FlameRobin is version
0.9.10.
I do not use IBX. I use FPC's SQL DB components.
No problem up to now.

I am used to Windows, which seems organized completely different than
Linux.
I usually install Lazarus into my home directory and then create a
"projects" directory as another subdirectory under my home directory.
All my software development work then goes there.

Note that Linux has the concept of hidden files and directories. These
conventionally have names starting with a '.' character and are used
to save configuration data and other system info. For example, if you
use git then each source tree has a .git directory in its root
directory. This contains the local copy of the repository.
