That is not Linux distro specific. We just happen to benefit from it.

That is NOT a linux related effort. POSIX was in place before Linux was 
even conceived. Linux mostly maintains compliance with posix so there 
won't be too much trouble porting UNIX software over to Linux.


The Linux kernel following the posix standard has no bearing on 
standardization between Linux distros which must take place at a higher 
level than the kernel found in the rest of your list.
