Xandros Linux Server First to Receive LSB Certification by Using New
Automated Testkit
 
Linux Foundation Certifies Xandros Server 2.0 to Latest Linux Standard,
Assuring Broad Application Developer Support
 
 
NEW YORK, NY - Xandros, the leading provider of intuitive end-to-end Linux
desktop and server solutions and Windows and Linux cross-platform
interoperability tools, today announced that Xandros Server 2.0 is the first
product to be certified by the Linux Foundation through use of the LSB
Distribution Testkit (LSB DTK). Xandros engineers worked closely with their
Linux Foundation counterparts in perfecting the new, automated testing
procedures that will facilitate broad application developer support to
Xandros Server 2.0 and all other standards-based Linux operating systems. 
 
"Xandros Server 2.0 brings Linux server solutions closer to mainstream use.
We are especially pleased that Xandros has validated our new testing toolkit
in the process of certifying to the latest LSB specification," said Jim
Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. "A common testkit
together with common standards paves the way to broad application support
for Xandros and other standards-based Linux solutions providers."
 
"We are very proud that Xandros Server 2.0 has the honor of being the first
Linux solution to use automated testing procedures to certify to the latest
Linux Foundation LSB specification," said Ming Poon, Xandros VP of Product
Development. "The new testing toolkit worked like a charm and should provide
a major boost to Xandros Server and other standards-based Linux
distributions by making it easier than ever for application vendors to
support the entire Linux ecosystem."
 
Xandros launched the first Linux server to provide a powerful platform for
enterprise administrators and SMBs with little or no Linux experience. The
next-generation Xandros Server 2.0 line will be available this spring. The
award-winning Xandros Server complements the company's award-winning
desktop, software deployment, and cross-platform management software to
complete an intuitive, end-to-end line of Debian-based Linux solutions. For
