    Linux and POSIX.

    Does anybody know if Linux, (any distrib), is POSIX compliant? If so, does it support POSIX.4 and pthreads?

    the definition of linux that my CS textbooks seemed to favor is "linux is a POSIX complient UNIX like operating system." So, at the very least, it SHOULD be POSIX compliant.
