Chachazz Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Free Standards Group Releases LSB 3.0By Steven J. Vaughan-NicholsSeptember 19, 2005 "On Monday, the Free Standards Group released the latest version of the Linux Standard Base, Version 3.0, and announced that Red Hat Inc., Novell Inc., the Debian Common Core Alliance and Asianux are all certifying their latest operating systems versions to it.The LSB 3.0 is a set of standards designed to ensure compatibility among Linux distributions and the applications that run on them. It is expressly designed to prevent the kind of application incompatibilities that have bedeviled the different distributions of the Unix operating system. With the widespread adoption of LSB 3.0, ISVs and end users should benefit as it becomes easier and less costly for software vendors to target Linux. Adopters include the nine members of the Debian Common Core Alliance, Novell, Red Hat, and Asianux, which is an alliance of China's Red Flag Linux, Japan's Miracle Linux and Korea's Haansoft distribution vendors."eWEEK - Linux & Open source Quote Link to post Share on other sites
