[Aslug] Linux Standard Base is V1.0!

[Adrian Casey]

We discussed this topic breifly at a recent meeting and all agreed that one 
thing which is hurting Linux in the corporate world is the lack of standards 
across distros.  Well, after a long haul, the LSB has hit V1.0.  This is 
great news for all Linux users.  Details at http://www.linuxbase.org.

Another topic we've recently coverd is that of competing package management.  
The two main contenders are RedHat's RPM and Debian's apt-get.  Well, the 
good folks at Connectiva have produced a hybrid known as 'apt-rpm'.  This is 
another excellent example of opensource evolution.  Details at

Please note that due to the Alice Springs Show this weekend, we will not be 
meeting next Tuesday (June 10th).  The next meeting will be Tuesday, June 
24th.

See you all the show!

Cheers.
Adrian.
