> Where can I read about the LSB? Do they publish the results of the compliance tests the vendors have to run to be certified? In short, what are the standards and how complaint is RedHat really?

Red Hat will not be LSB 2.0. LSB 2.0 use ABI v5 (gcc 3.3.4+patch or 3.3.5). RHEL 4 will use gcc 3.4.3. RHEL 4 will be LSB 2.1 or 3.0.

Fedora is free ($0) and like gentoo, debian, ... don't have certification.
