I think that IBM z/OS is the strangest entry on the list. It’s also notable that Hawaii EulerOS is a Linux distro based on CentOS

- azinman2 5y agoSo Huawei got Unix certification for Linux? If so, that’s a pretty big deal!
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThey did, but (IIRC, and this is an old memory) to make GNU/Linux pass certification you have to hack it up quite a bit; lots of GNU tools have POSIX modes that significantly change how they behave - things like du defaulting to 1024-byte units by default but using 512-byte units if you set POSIXLY_CORRECT because parts of the standard are, um, "interesting". But yes, neat to know that it can be done.
- krylon 5y agoAFAIR, Red Hat once had a version of their system certified, too. But it's not as useful as one might think - the certification applies to a specific distro and release only, so it needs to be renewed with every new release.
