The Free Standards Group Announces Availability of First Integrated Linux Desktop Standard
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/25/06 -- At the Desktop Linux Summit, the Free Standards
Group,
a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and promoting open
source software standards, today announced the availability of the
Linux Standard Base (LSB) 3.1, the first version of the LSB to include
support for portable Linux desktop applications. This standard and
newly enhanced developer support provided by the FSG will make it
easier for application developers to target the complete Linux
platform; thereby solving a major hindrance for Linux desktop adoption
and providing a cohesive Linux desktop environment. LSB 3.1 also
incorporates the recently approved ISO standard LSB Core (ISO/IEC
23360) into the standard. The Free Standards Group also
announced today that Novell, Red Hat, Ubuntu and others are all
certifying their versions of their operating systems to the LSB,
delivering true worldwide coverage of LSB certified distributions. (See

groups.)
