Happy Holidays!!
Release 1.1 of the LSB is now ready for your review. This time, both the common specification, and the IA32 specific specifications are ready. You can find these at http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/. Please use the links for reviewing these document so that you may easily record your comments. Note: The IA64 specific specification is coming along nicely, and hopefully will be ready for a formal review in just a couple more weeks. This review period run from today through Friday, Jan 4, 2002. Due to this being a holiday period, this period may possibly be extended, but there are other deadlines that would make it difficult to extend the review period for more than a couple of extra days. In the event that you don't get an opportunity to make comments during this period, please remember that your comments are always welcome, at any time.
