4.2.6  Web proxy interface
The protocol that is used to talk to a Web proxy is independent of OS. This 
means that talking to a Windows Web proxy is as easy as setting the correct 
settings in the Web browser.
This means that interfacing the Linux client with an existing Web proxy is one of 
the easiest tasks of the migration.
4.3  Standardizing the desktop
In this section we discuss some issues regarding a standardized Linux desktop. 
We discuss Linux standards in general, the different desktop environments with 
their underlying component models and lockdown mechanisms, and also more 
general topics like corporate identity guidelines, themes, application menu 
design, and overall usability.
Related to desktop standardization is the topic of 
client personalization.
 In this 
context, 
personalization
 is a general term for all client side data that is created 
and used to personalize the look and feel, presentation of functions, and other 
user interface customizations that are specific to the individual end user. See 
Appendix D,  Client personalization  on page 217, for more details.
4.3.1  Linux standards
In the past years a lot of effort has been put into standardizing Linux and 
higher level subsystems. Organizations like the Free Standards Group, 
FreeDesktop.org, and the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) started 
working on many different projects in this area. These projects use and extend 
existing standards like POSIX, the Single UNIX Specification, XML, DOM, 
CORBA, and many more. Some example projects are:
File system Hierarchy Standard (FHS)
Linux Standard Base 
(
http://www.linuxbase.org
)
Internationalization (OpenI18N)
Printing (OpenPrinting)
Accessibility
Clustering (Open Cluster Framework)
Data Center Linux
Carrier Grade Linux
