The Linux Developer Network is here to help application developers support the Linux platform. Specifically, we are here to provide the tools, information and support to build portable Linux applications. The Linux Standard Base can lower your application porting, support and maintenance costs while allowing you to fulfill customer choice.
- Learn About Linux Portability in our Why the LSB and What is the LSB Sections.
- Check Your App! The LDN has a brand new tool that analyzes your application for Linux portability. The Linux Application Checker will tell you if you can support multiple distributions out-of-the-box or make recommendations on how to increase your application's portability.
- Get Help in our support section. There you'll find forums, mailing lists, IRC channels or through the wealth of articles, blog and tips and tricks in our Get Informed Section.
- Certify to the LSB. For some ISVs, it makes sense to certify to the LSB and show your customers your commitment to open standards and application portability. If you certify, you can also also receive promotional opportunities from the Linux Foundation.
