Writing applications for the Linux platform presents software developers with unique challenges. With a significant number of architecture choices and growing number of distributions worldwide, ISVs have needed to severely limit what they support in order to make their porting, testing and service burden acceptable. But supporting only one distribution limits both the choices available to your customers and the markets available for your software. Ideally, application vendors could simplify the testing, service and support complexities while addressing customer requirements for multiple distributions worldwide.
There is an answer. Whether you‷re a commercial or open source application developer, you can lower your service and support costs and achieve binary portability by writing your application to comply with the Linux Standard Base (LSB). Hear directly from an Independent Software Vendor who has supported applications on Linux ‷ both with and without the LSB.
