They all do desktop Linux distributors, as far as I know..
and servers as well, I think..
--and of course the Red Hat derived distributions already had an edge since LSB initially defined rpm as the package manager..

  • TEST CASE: because Ubuntu packages are not LSB packages, there is very little testing to be done here of the LSB functionality per se, beyond what testing the LSB upstream will do to check for compliance with the LSB. However, in Ubuntu the lsb-base and lsb-release packages also provide core functionality for our init scripts and other bits of the system, so testing should be done to make sure systems still boot correctly after the update and appear to work correctly in general.
