                    POSIX.1 (FIPS 151-2) Certification
         (Availability : Intel and Digital ALPHA Architectures)

Linux has achieved certification against a major International Standard
recognised and implemented throughout the computer industry. Announced
at the Open Group meeting of X/Open and the OSF in San Fransisco on 9th
March 1996 and at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany. The interest in this
release from the Application vendors is considerable (this is English
understatement :)  as this release allows almost seamless porting of
almost all UNIX applications to Linux.
