Linux Global Unified Standard will be introduced soon to avoid UNIX (Sina Technology)
Free Standards Group plans to officially announce a Linux global standard on September 14th, Beijing to prevent the trend of Linux further differentiation. This standard is currently widely supported from Linux developers to PC manufacturers, including Red Hat, Novell, Red Flag, TurboLinux, AMD, Intel, HP, Dell and IBM. The Standards organization will announce the standard named Linux Standard Library 2.0 (Linux Standard Base 2.0), the purpose of surprise is constant to avoid Linux differentiation into several incompatible versions. This situation has occurred on the UNIX operating system a few years ago, and several companies have developed a large and incompatible UNIX version of each other. Another non-profit organization Linux International's executive Director Jon Hall said: "If there is no standard version of Linux operating system, we will inevitably go to Unix's old road." Freedom Standard Organization Executive Director Jim - Jim Zemlin believes that the Linux system must have a unified standard with Microsoft's Windows operating system. The biggest advantage of Linux is that it is an open standard, and anyone can freely access its source code. However, in recent years, commercial companies led by Red Hat and Novell often add a variety of different functions in Linux to make their products and services more attractive to users. In this case, Linux supporters began to worry that future Linux will make multiple different versions like UNIX, weaken the competitiveness in the market. Microsoft has fully aware of this potential crisis in Linux, which advertises in the European market, showing consumers to make chaos and troubles that users can encounter in several different versions of LINUX. In Microsoft's advertisement, penguins as Linux logo grows frog legs and elephants. Ze Lin said: "Have to admit it, this is a very good advertisement." In the past, if a vendor joined the special function for Linux, the manufacturer must test under multiple versions of Linux platform to ensure Compatibility, this situation will be greatly changed in the future. Jeffrey Wade, HP Linux Marketing, said: "The new standard launch will greatly reduce the development cost of the manufacturer, because the manufacturer only needs to complete the test under the standard version Linux." IBM technology Dan Fry, Dan Fry, believes that Linux system's threat is not as big as people think, because all changes in Linux are in "Linux Father" LINUS TORVAALDS. Monitoring. However, Frei also said: "In any case, a unified standard is very important for software vendors and users."
