Four Linux Vendors Agree On An LSB Implemenation

An anonymous reader submits a link to this story at Linuxlookup.com which says that "Connectiva, Mandrakesoft, Progeny and Turbolinux today announce the creation of a common implementation of the LSB 2.0 which will serve as the base for future products. The project, called 'Linux Core Consortium' (LCC), is backed by Linux supporters such as Computer Associates, HP, Novell, Red Hat, Sun, OSDL, and the Free Standards Group."

LSB?

[DaHat]

It's taken this long to decide on what is the Least Significant Bit?

Is that not it? It sure would be nice if the editors would stop posting articles that do not describe what they are intending to be describing.

This is good news

[gowen]

Hell, it would be good news if it was just "Two Linux Vendors Agree ... on anything"

It really is amazing

[Anonymous Coward]

It really is amazing how Connectiva, Turbolinux, Progeny and Mandrake can come together to form one signle standard base.

Its kind of like Voltron for crap.

LSB is obviously USB for Linux. Version 2.0 should offer twice as much throughput as LSB 1.0.

Server dead at 9:40 am EST, may it rest in pieces

Only one comment and you bastards have killed the server. Now that I honestly can't RTFA, let me resume normal slashdot mode:

In further news, the LSB implementation of the LCC Project will require LSD usage to be fully appreciated.

Thanks you, thank you, I'll be silly all night. Be sure to tip your kernel hackers.

In other words...

...this is United Linux II, with Caldera/SCO having joined the bad guys, SuSE striking out on its own and Mandrake (the former champ) and Progeny (the cult favorite) joining the crew.

It sounds like a pro wrestling plot! Hey, what's Darl hiding behind his back? It looks like a ... Ian, look out!

In related news.....

[leereyno]

Today Connectiva, Mandrakesoft, Progeny and Turbolinux announced today that they had reached a consensus and have declared that Linux is indeed an operating system.

In related news the value of 2 has been universally declared to be the whole number value immediately following 1. How this relates to the number 42 has not yet been determined.

Don't worry, they're still arguing over that.

Re:rpm vs. deb

[Anonymous Coward]

don't forget about emerge -u world

The second parameter indicates how far you can walk before your system is fully updated...

And, is it Little Endian

[wiredog]

Big Endian, or Middle endian? The article doesn't seem to say...

Re:LSB?

[Eowaennor]

SCSI? That means System Can't See It... right?

No, no, no!

[mrchaotica]

It's United Linux: Reloaded

Get it right or pay the price!

I did some of this stuff in the '60s

[MarkEst1973]

I'm still seeing trails.

oh, wait, LSB....

I wonder if you're the same Linux admin that arrived in my datacenter in 2000, did some work on my E6500, logged out, then turned off the serial terminal. :D

Simple solution

[Anonymous Coward]

There [reference.com] is [reference.com] a [reference.com] simple [reference.com] solution [reference.com] .
Just [reference.com] use [reference.com] links [reference.com] everywhere [reference.com]

The real meaning of LSB

[jd]

Nonono, LSB is a binary form of LSD when seen through an LCD, after reading FUD on why Linux isn't being adopted. It causes your computer to hallucinate Pluto [lyrics007.com] whilst running SETI@Home.
