There usually is something... The main hurdle for Tux is that it is not in the mainstream kernel, and consists of a patch. I think RedHat has precompiled kernels with Tux in them. The aa kernels also contain tux. There are also strong indications that 'zero copy tcp/ip' may enable userspace webservers to achieve comparable bandwidths (many gbits/second). See for example X15: http://www.chromium.com/x15tech.html Regards, bert -- http://www.PowerDNS.com Versatile DNS Software & Services Trilab The Technology People Netherlabs BV / Rent-a-Nerd.nl - Nerd Available - 'SYN! ..
