I can't say debian is "posix conformant". However, I have been
developing c code on hpux, dec osf1, and aix for some years now. Linux
is as good as any of those. When it comes to supporting old standards
like bsd, linux is probably a bit better.
To be an actual factual posix system you have to pass a test suite that requires
a bunch of money. If the test suite is ever put in public domain, linux may get
a posix rating.

Dear Sirs,
I am a Linux user and I need information regarding linux (debian,RedHat,
Slackware) and its conformance to IEEE POSIX standards, specially those
that Microsoft Windows NT is not compliant.
Best regards,
Mario de Mello B. Neto.
