However, I think you've hit the nail on the head here; much of tux is just general-purpose network file-blasting. The right hacker could turn it into the fastest web-cache on the planet with the right modules. I believe Ingo already did a basic ftp server based on tux, just to demonstrate this generality.
Ingo? Am I crazy or enlightened?
