That looks pretty clear to me... Tux was only ever an interesting
research project (some years ago, now). Most of the acceleration
techniques it pioneered in the kernel were cleaned up, made suitably
generic, and made available for userspace web servers.

I haven't looked: I understand Tux was only ever a patch, not part of
the kernel.org tree. So the patch itself might be dropped.

Why do you want to use Tux? Are you really in a situation where you
need a high-speed web server? (Most people would love to have the
bandwidth to worry about the processor time their Web server needs).

What's wrong with Apache?
