Distro Developer

The Linux Foundation offers certification for distributions that comply with the LSB specification. LSB-certified distributions are very important to the Linux ecosystem, as they provide ISVs with a core set of interfaces and libraries to which to target their applications.

In this section, distribution developers and vendors who are not yet LSB-certified or are looking to upgrade their version of LSB can find the tools and instructions to start the LSB compliance process.

• The LSB Distro Testkit Getting Started page steps through the process of testing your distribution for compliance, from start to finish.
• Visit the Certification of Distributions page to learn how to finalize the LSB certification of your distribution after you have tested your distro and believe it to be compliant,
