is CentOS an LSB certified product?
 

Hi all,

Would anyone know if CentOS 4 and 5 is LSB certified?

I have not found any info on RH being LSB certified either. Is RH also
LSB certified?


In case you need to know, I am compiling a list of LSB certified Linux
just for comparison as to who would want to be LSB certified. Just to
see if it matters to ppl if it matters to be certified.

Correction:

RHEL 5 is LSB 3.1. Does this mean CentOS 5 is automatically LSB 3.1?

About the Linux Standard
Base (LSB)

The Linux Standard Base delivers interoperability between
applications and the Linux operating system. Currently all major
distributions comply with the LSB and many major application vendors,
like MySQL, RealNetworks and SAP, are certifying. The LSB offers a
cost-effective way for application vendors to target multiple Linux
distributions while building only one software package. For end-users,
the LSB and its mark of interoperability preserves choice by allowing
them to select the applications and distributions they want while
avoiding vendor lock-in. LSB certification of distributions results in
more applications being ported to Linux and ensures that distribution
vendors are compatible with those applications. In short, the LSB
ensures Linux does not fragment.



If you are an end user looking for Linux distributions that support
open standards, please see our list of LSB certified products.



If you are a developer looking to build portable Linux applications
that will work on these distributions, please see the Linux
Developer Network.</quote>

Yes. But we may not call it so, as CentOS is *not* certified by the
Linux Foundation. But the LSB tests should run without any problem on

If anyone wants to sponsor that - feel free to contact the CentOS team,
as the fees are pretty high:

<https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Fee_Schedule>

And the product has to be retested after each maintenance release (5.1,
5.2, 5.3) ...

But you could also donate that kind of money to the CentOS project if
you want to express how you feel about CentOS :)

Cheers,

Ralph

To be honest, I think that is where we are different from RHEL.

If you need absolute assurance that CentOS is LSB certified on paper
before corporate management, buy RHEL entitlements and drop CentOS.


If you can live with CentOS and do not need the added value from Red Hat
(support, EAL/LSB certification, legal indemnification for IP
infringement, hardware/software certification) stick with CentOS.


But if your business relies on CentOS, your business relies on Red Hat as
well. There is at least a moral duty to think what that is worth to your
business and act accordingly.

We have been offered a pass through the process by the LSB,
but there has not been demand for it.

One assumes you mean 'RHEL'? Distribution releases, and not
companties, are certified. You need to go check the LSB site
more closely -- the answer is clearly there.
