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."

    Yeah, and what percentage of Linux usage do these distros encompass? Based on Linux Counter, these distros (including fedora for redhat) encompass 41.31% of users. If Mandrake, for example, jumps on board then that'll be over 50%, a majority. I'm not even counting Asianux, because I couldn't find a number on that.
