The Linux-FT distribution of Linux has been *certified* POSIX complient. Check out the archives of the comp.os.linux.announce newsgroup for more information. The comp.os.linux.archives are located at: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~wirzeniu/linux/cola.html The specific article talking about Linux and POSIX complience is: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/~wirzeniu/linux/cola.archive/cola.1996-03-13.006 Followups redirected to comp.os.linux.development.system. cc'd to author.
