Call me silly, but I thought this was one of the original intents behind
Linus's vision. I guess it takes another standards group to get players
like Red Hat back in line.

Free Standards Group announces release of LSB 1.1
At the end of January, the Free Standards Group announced the release of
version 1.1 of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) at the LinuxWorld Expo and
Conference. The LSB's purpose is to make Linux adhere to a single standard
so that it's easier for vendors and software products to be compatible
with any distribution of Linux, regardless of the vendor.
Most major distributions, such as Mandrake Linux, Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera,
and others, have steadily changed their systems to conform to the
standards documented by the LSB. The end result is to encourage large
software vendors like Oracle and others to develop for Linux, knowing that
if they develop on a Red Hat system, it will also work on a Mandrake or
SuSE system.
Combine the LSB with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), and there
soon will be no learning curve to jump from one distribution to another.
Utilizing the advanced firewall techniques in iptables
The clear successor to the Linux firewall crown is iptables. See what
features the netfilter/iptables package includes that can make your
firewall more secure, provide better network performance, and improve
logging.
Consider RHCE if you're a Linux administrator
Linux administrators can choose from many certifications, but Erik Eckel
says you need to consider only the RHCE if you're serious about Linux
certification. This IT Certification Corner explains why.
New firewall locks down desktops
To protect all your desktops, you may need more than a network firewall.
3Com's Embedded Firewall that runs at the NIC may provide the extra
protection your company needs. Find out how.
Configure Win2K IPSec to secure network traffic
Admins running Windows 2000 may be surprised to learn that it's relatively
easy to encrypt and secure sensitive communications on their LANs. Learn
how to set up IPSec policies to keep important data from being sent in
clear text over the network.
Are hackers in hiding or aiming at new targets?
Are hacker attacks on the decline, or are hackers as busy as ever? Two
experts offer differing views on the subject.
