operating system, UL provides a single stable, uniform platform for application development, certification, and deployment and allows Linux vendors, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) to support a single high-value Linux offering rather than many different versions." UnitedLinux attempts to offer enterprise-level solutions based on Linux, starting from a standard base that each distributor can freely adapt to the needs of its customers. UnitedLinux will also be based on all the Linux standards defined as of this date, such as the Linux Standard Base standard. The main advantage for customers is that they can work with any of UnitedLinux companies, with any of their products, and the base system, the configuration files, and the file locations will remain the same, at the same place, and with the same properties. This is a main advantage for customers that use Linux, but do not have a unified distribution across their systems.
