Linux Standard Effort Edges Ahead

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the for-some-definition-of-ahead dept.

ErikPeterson writes "The Free Standards Group has released its third version of the Linux Standard Base, an effort to unify some of the workings of the open-source operating system. The LSB is designed to make it easier for those producing higher-level software to support different versions of Linux. Pledges to conform to the requirements of Version 3 are Red Hat, Novell's Suse Linux, Asianux and Debian."

    Whoa whoa whoa whoa, no changing argument midstream. You said "a standard is only standard if everyone follows it". Meaning if there exists one person out there who does not follow that standard, it isn't a standard.

    You can't suddenly bring up degree and posit that in your argument - that isn't what you posited the first time. You can, of course, admit you were wrong and revise, and in which case, you'll have my complete agreement.
