[Gllug] ELF, LSB [...] , stripped

[Pavel Bradut Boghita]

I've been playing with some commands on my system and wondered about the 
output to the file command bellow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
user at machine:/bin$ file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),dynamically 
linked (uses shared libs), stripped
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wondering if someone could give me a short explanation of what this 
means, just enough to have an idea. I searched google for ELF and LSB but I 
only found stuff which goes on about converting from SVR4 to ELF... anyway I 
understood that ELF is some way to package (compile) binaries... !?
- LSB I don't know what it means, a type of executable perhaps ?
- Intel 80386 - the minimum type of processor which can run it ?
- version 1 (SYSV) - no idea
- dynamically linked - there are links somewhere pointing to /bin/ls ?
- stripped - no idea

I would really appreciate some clarification of these perhaps trivial terms 
for some but a bit blurred for me.

Thanks a lot, 

Bradut
