Underneath is where the similarity lies (e.g. package management, init scripts), at least, according to LSB. *LSB Certified distributions Caldera OpenLinux Server Release 3.1.1 with lsb-1.1-2 package Mandrake Linux ProSuite 8.2 + first update CD Mandrake Linux ProSuite 9.0 Red Hat Linux 7.3 with glibc 2.2.5-39+kernel 2.4.18-10 or later Red Hat Linux 8.0 SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional + aaa_base and Kernel Update SuSE Linux 8.1 Cheers, Ed _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
