[CS-FSLUG] The Linux Standard Base: Order From Chaos

[Fred A. Miller]

In a world with hundreds of Linux distributions, standardization is the
key to fighting fragmentation for the sake of both users and developers.
How to achieve such conformity? Look no further than the Linux Standard
Base, which offers a way to standardize the file-system hierarchy and
application and operating system software structures used by Linux.

Imagine going out to do your shopping errands in a world devoid of
standards. What would that be like?

Without standard sizes, something as routine as buying clothes would be
an exercise in frustration. Finding a replacement bulb or buying tires
for your car would require unique parts made only by the manufacturer.

It is only through the establishment of standards, in other words, that
protocols can be adopted for building products and services used in
everyday life.
