Wow!
Thats a lot of money. The Pass thru mentioned, does it also mean that
payment need to be made?
I wonder what is the purpose of them charging so much?

Herrold,
I meant RH, in terms of the RHEL distro. I look forward to have
centos gain the LSB, what is needed for the pass thru? is the main
CentOS community interested?
As for the rest, thank you for the sharing of info.
The LSB should be concern to encourage developers to built stuff
that can be used across distros. LSB should reduce problems of
desktop users who have been finding difficulty in getting stuff like
printer drivers and other paraphernalia. The more distros adopting
LSB then more developers/manufacturers will be encouraged on the use
of LSB.
Well .. I have run the latest testing scripts and CentOS-5.1 passes
the 3.1 LSB for Core and Desktop.
It does not pass the 3.2 LSB tests yet (neither does RHEL-5).
I will work with Russ to see if I can get CentOS certified without
paying $20,000.00 a year to make it happen.
If we have to pay for this, well we can't be certified.
Note, only one version of Ubuntu (6.0.6 LTS) and no Debian or Fedora
versions are certified.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
I really believe that any "standards" organization that charges that
much is just extorting money for a small perceived benefit.
If it passes the testing scripts, that should be enough for a "free"
distribution. Microsoft does the same thing for its "certified"
drivers. They charge an extortion fee for the service.
