Linux vendors rally behind desktop standard
The non-profit Free Standards Group will soon release Linux Standard Base 3.1. This version combines the LSB's previously separate server and desktop versions, and it's supported by major open-source companies like IBM, Red Hat, Novell and others. Efforts to standardize desktop Linux have been tried--and have failed--many times before. The announcement is expected at the Linux Desktop Summit next week in San Diego. Perhaps this time the wide support will lead to success.
