I was reading about the Linux Standard Base and was wondering if the structure used in Ubuntu is the same that is suggested in the LSB. I know some distros do not follow or do some changes to the LSB, so I also want to know if Ubuntu has some changes, and what changes these are.

Which version of Ubuntu, or just in general? – david6 Dec 20 '11 at 4:04
In general. But since am starting to ask since 11.10 I would start from 11.10 onwards. – Luis Alvarado Dec 20 '11 at 4:10

Ubuntu like Debian 'strives to comply with the LSB' through the 'alien' program but is not believed to be fully compliant.

There's more to LSB than RPM packages. For completeness it would be better to include some cursory information on the lsb-base package. – Jacob Johan Edwards Jan 8 at 4:58
