A minimum set of functionality and the mode of implementation was needed to be shared with all Linux compliant platforms. What the LSB specification which was set for linux distributions was set up to define was a common specification for Linux institutions for all the major Linux distributions and applications. THE LSB had the support of all the major distribution makers.

What the LSB did not do what to define how the semantics of installation and additional functionality should have been delivered and then provide a framework as how additional functionality was to be planned for and delivered . It was to provide a complete customer orientated solution. If Linux was to serve the mainstream business and corporate business client it had to have a solid foundation to be built upon which specifically tailored solutions , for either specific industries , applications or clients could be developed upon.

It had to be solid , substantial and rock solid whatever programs and applications were to devised and developed.

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.
