- POSIX.1 (FIPS 151-2) Certification
- (Availability : Intel and Digital ALPHA Architectures)
-
- Linux has achieved certification against a major International Standard
- recognised and implemented throughout the computer industry. Announced
- at the Open Group meeting of X/Open and the OSF in San Fransisco on 9th
- March 1996 and at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany. The interest in this
- release from the Application vendors is considerable (this is English
- understatement :) as this release allows almost seamless porting of
- almost all UNIX applications to Linux.
