"Didn't LSB do this years ago?" Then I got to the ninth paragraph, where they first mention LSB by name. Just seemed to me that A) they really beat around the bush and B) it isn't exactly news. I did notice the part about LSB 3.1 being the first version to cover desktop distros, though. They also gloss over Windows' consistency between versions a bit too much for my taste. Maybe it's just because I've been burned by incompatibilities before. *shrug* Interesting article, though, in that it seems to be aimed toward non-geek readers. (Thanks, Jerry -- I'm not blaming you for posting the link.) Jima
