Capabilities Document 1.0 - pdf
The working group captures, discusses, publishes and develops Linux capabilities required by demanding, enterprise-class client applications. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the use of Linux on enterprise clients. The Capabilities document is the work of current OSDL member companies and interested individuals. Together with industry leaders, Independent Software Vendors and end-users, the group identifies Linux capabilities required to address a range of enterprise client usage models. Each of the capabilities listed within this document has been analyzed for applicability to these enterprise client models. The purpose of this document is to provide an external snapshot of the work in progress to allow feedback from interested parties. When complete, these capability descriptions will be used to evaluate the actual state of enterprise Linux clients. Gaps and difficiencies will be documented and expressed as use cases which can be used as reference for open source development projects to come up with solutions. This document is neccessarily forward looking and describes capabilities which are not present, or may not fully developped on any current system.
