LSB to Provide Standards as Optional Modules

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the step-in-line dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The LSB will begin providing certain standards as optional modules to the core LSB standard that will enable standards flexibility and allow for a wider variety of standards, eWeek is reporing Free Standards Group officials said at the OSDL Enterprise Linux Summit today. The article goes on to say that the FSG is also looking at possibly franchising out the application certification component of the LSB to the distribution providers themselves."

    First "Michael Sims has been fired" post. To make up for his failings, he's being replaced by a newcomer to the slashdot team. Some guy called Roland.

  3. OS X will still be better. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Give this GUI Linux desktop stuff some time to mature. In five years, nothing else will compare, no matter what the price.


    Hate to break it to you, but Apple won't be standing still. Linux is decades behind OS X in usability, and while KDE and GNOME are in permanent "catch up" mode, Apple will be inventing new technologies. Linux users are pretty much relegated to being "me too" GUI users, while OS X users will be doing more work more efficiently. There is a reason why more and more Linux users are dropping that pile of crap and moving to OS X. Open Source simply cannot compete with closed source done right: Apple.
