Google will tell it better than I can. It is a open standard by the Linux community. Standarizes what will be included in a distro and where it will go. This would make working on multiple Linux systems easier, imo. The /opt directory is an example of what the LSB requires and what has traditionally not been present in Debian. That said I read that Xandros would help Debian get certified. Suse Redhat are, I don't know about other distros but its not a bad thing. Ask those folks whether or not they have read the spec :) - -- Greg Madden Debian GNU/Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qfAOk7rtxKWZzGsRAh+9AKCpxRJfGk4JbZ6pPeq6k9oOIXufHQCfVJYY cEUilZA+cDGeJFbWMk/MgVk= =maJ0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
