Go look at www.linuxbase.org to see what it is all about.
But seriously, if someone would throw out the possibility of using a distro
just because it wasn't trying to conform to the LSB, I would *seriously*
question their competence in running enterprise level systems. That would
be like saying I won't use that OS because it's not POSIX compliant, or I
won't hire someone to run my NT server because they aren't MS certified.
I'm not saying that supporting LSB wouldn't be a factor in the overall
decision, given certain needs, but to dismiss a distro completely solely
because of something like LSB support? My guess is that whoever told you
that doesn't work on the business side of things, because that type of
comment shows very poor judgement, and people like that just simply don't
make it to the top where decisions are made, for the very reason that they
might do something stupid like that..
Sorry for the rant, but a pet peave of mine is people like the one you
described:)
Plus, I think debian is actually a contributor to the whole LSB thing aren't
they?
