LSB won't change anythingLSB won't change anythingPosted Aug 29, 2002 21:14 UTC (Thu) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Red Hat as the "next Redmond" by ctg Parent article: Red Hat as the "next Redmond" I rather doubt that LSB will make a difference here. In most the cases where only Red Hat Linux is supported, the product in theory works on plenty of other systems that call themselves "linux," and the vendor could easily list specific things in the environment it requires. But a vendor likes to test with something as close as possible to anything he is supporting. He wants to write instructions and train technical support people specific to all the details of the system, not just the ones in LSB. Since even with LSB, the vendor knows that if he further restricts the product to Red Hat Linux he will still cover the vast majority of his market, that's what he will do. Besides, "LSB" systems will deviate from LSB, even if by mistake. In those cases, a vendor wants his product to be bug compatible with Red Hat.
