I was overjoyed at the appearance of the lsb, but now I am somewhat dismayed at the lack of discussion on the mailing list... so to anyone listening LETS START SOME!
First, I believe that the FHS is probably one of the most important steps in bridging linux compatibility. What, if any, is the consensus on the FHS 2.0... do the distributions that are part of the lsb agree to use it? Second, I want to address libc. Will glibc be present on all upcoming linux distributions? I believe that moving to glibc is an important step in securing a posix conformant linux. Judging from the latest release of debian, however, I wonder if there is any progress on moving away from libc5... What other areas need addressing, and what work is being conducted on building a lsb distribution? Also, how do people feel about the upcoming UDI drivers? Personally, I feel the UDI is one of the BIGGEST steps linux has taken to avoid being shut out of the latest hardware by Microsoft. The UDI will, most likely, end the FUD tactic of claiming that linux only works with OLD hardware. Greg
