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."

      when I last subsribed to the debian lists (some time ago now), I remember a bit of a flame war over an earlier incarnation of LSB.
      A flamewar? On a Debian mailing list? Inconceivable.

      C'mon, you know the only way this stuff will standardize is when Microsoft Linux comes out ;-)

    Then, by that definition, neither metric nor imperial are standard systems of measurements. Why? Because not everyone is using it.

    You lose. Have a nice day.

    The article gets funnier when you read LSB as Least Significant Bit.

      4 things to say to that reply to my posting:

      1.) Go to hell first of all, if you cannot draw the meaning of someone's words via the context in which they are used, YOU have the problem, not myself.

      2.) I don't need YOUR opinion, ok? Just those who have technical commentary on it, or the moderators' opinions on it (which got a "+1" interesting rating).

      3.) Additionally, IF you do NOT like what I write? Don't read it - pretty simple!

      & lastly

      4.) Care to somehow PROVE you have a PhD in English?

      (No, or not possible on YOUR end, to the last one? I thought as much...)
