Actually you might want to give Interbase a try. Version 6 is now in
beta and is going to be open sourced. It's been around a while and seems
pretty solid. There will be a commercial entity to buy support
contracts from and the newsgroups are very helpful. As a bonus there is
a realatively large installed user base already and very very nice
client side tools available. See http://www.interbase.com/ or
http://www.interbase2000.com/ for further details.
If I can't get my questions answered about case sensitivity issues here
(no help so far) I will most likely to use it myself.

IB supports transactions and sequences. It's very stable and pretty
fast. There was a problem with shared memory in the early beta and
earlier releases but it's fixed now. I am pretty sure it runs on FreeBSD
but I am not sure if it runs natively or under linux emulation.
