LSB--CAN IT HELP NETWORK MANAGERS COPE WITH LINUX? The Linux Standard Base (LSB), a specification that would establish interoperability among various Linux distributions, holds many potential benefits for network managers. "The idea [behind LSB] is that if everything is in a standard place, applications will be portable from one distribution to the next," explained Nathan Walp, a systems administrator and developer in Virginia. University of Wisconsin systems administrator Tony Hammond said LSB would help him port a Linux distribution from one vendor to another as he works to build his own custom Linux implementation. Observers said the biggest benefit for network managers will be the ability to define common locations for software libraries. LSB will also help the transfer of Linux server management duties among administrators, according to Walp.
