One of our goals is to actually take the next generation of the most
common "large system" web server and get it to scale along the lines
of Tux or some of the other servers which are more common on the
small machines. For some reasons, big corporate customers want lots
of features that are in a web server like apache and would also like
the performance on their 8-CPU or 16-CPU machine to not suck at the
same time. High ideals, I know, wanting all features *and* performance
from the same tool... Next thing you know they'll want reliability
or some such thing.

Why does Tux keep you from taking advantage of all the
feature of Apache? Anything Tux doesn't handle in it's
fast path is simple fed up to Apache.
