The Linux Standard Base initiative is a positive step forward for vendors of
commercial Linux platforms such as the NetWinder," said Eid Eid, president of
Corel Computer Corp. "From our perspective, the LSB will afford developers and

flavors of the OS. We all know the negative effect the fragmentation of the
commercial UNIX had on its broad acceptance, and we encourage any initiative
that promotes the standardization of Linux and its acceptance as the
alternative mainstream OS"
