People that develop for Linux rarely take standards into account, besides POSIX was not a priority in the Linux camp until recently. SCO is IMHO the only standard platform. SCO (OpenServer) WAS sunk by Linux, the Free OpenServer came too late. The new Unixware may survive, but it's a different market..the type of market FreeBSD wants. In short: stop looking at the Linux kernel as the lifesaver; it's part of the problem, and remember Linux is not UNIX and it's not even an OS.
