How ISVs Can Benefit From the Linux Standard Base

Overview Due to the high costs of porting applications, ISVs have generally limited the number of operating systems they support. At the same time, however, they want to respond to worldwide markets to remain competitive. Linux and its variances between distributions present ISVs with a unique set of challenges: different versions of libraries, important files stored in different locations, and so on. If an ISV wants to reach a global Linux audience they must support more than one distribution of Linux. These challenges and variances make it difficult - and costly - for ISVs to target the Linux platform. The Linux Standard Base was created to solve these challenges and lower the cost of supporting the Linux platform.
