No. BSD and Solaris systems can also pass the LSB. OS X could pass it if
they wanted to.
LSB simply defines a binary interface for applications to run.and it
does it on a architecture basis.

Hi,
I am writing a talk on "What Excites Me" about Linux. The object of this
talk is to not only talk about the philosophical things that excites me, but
honest to goodness "neat" programs.
For example, gnomemeeting excites *ME* since it will allow me to videoconference

I have given talks to various chambers of commerce and school boards regarding

not only save money, but lead to a better and more vibrant learning experience.

Hi,
December 3rd and 4th there is a Linux conference in Boston. They are looking
for speakers regarding the use of Linux in these areas:
o financial services
o health care
o bio sciences
I racked my brain and came up with a few ideas for them, but I was wondering

When there is a great load on the system and there is a lot of swapping and

802.11g will be 54 MBit/sec, just as "a" is. It will be in the 2.4 GHz
frequency range just as 802.11b, microwave ovens, some cordless phones.
802.11g will have better range than 802.11a, due to its lower frequency and
lesser ability to be absorbed by people, leaves, etc.

No, the original development was on a PDP-7, and in assembler.
