If this sounded very familiar , it is because this point had been reached in Linux to some degrees. At the heart of the United Linux project as well as other Linux distro projects was the Linux Standard Base (LSB) which was set up to define common specifications for Linux distributions ( Linux distros) and Linux application programs. The LSB had the support of all the major Linux makers. Its stated aim was to develop and promote a set of standards that would promote compatibility among Linux distributions and enable the software applications to run on any compliant Linux systems. The stage was set for a major computer OS software platform for functionality and some standardizations.

This was a fairly big overlap , for the United Linux project, but it went a lot further. The LSB specification covered the Linux application programming interface with a view to allowing software and project developers to create applications that could well be deployed across all LSB compliant operating system platforms.

These individual distros and their partners hoped that other distros of Linux would be marked under their respective brands, but would be powered by a consistent United Linux which mean that the user could be confident that the user would be published with a United Linux and thus a measure of consistency and user functionally would easily exist across a customer and user base – for the first time in the Linux unix user base and communities.

Thus the UI ( United Linux) brand would thus of reduced the amount of mainstream Linux distros to the well managed group of five (5) – that at the time being Red Hat, Mandrake , United ,Debian and Slackware. The bets were on that time that in the enterprise sector tht Re Hat and United Linux would come to dominate. Well at the time those were the predictions of the Linux market share dominant distros.
