  • ISO/IEC 23360-2:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 2: Specification for IA32 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-3:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 3: Specification for IA64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-4:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 4: Specification for AMD64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-5:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 5: Specification for PPC32 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-6:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 6: Specification for PPC64 architecture
  • ISO/IEC 23360-7:2006 Linux Standard Base (LSB) core specification 3.1 -- Part 7: Specification for S390 architecture

Famous quotes containing the word standard:

    “Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.”
    —Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
