From swatkins at fastmail.fm Wed Apr 1 08:01:05 2009 From: swatkins at fastmail.fm (Sam Watkins) Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:01:05 +0800 Subject: installing tux Message-ID: <1238572865.9403.1308374017@webmail.messagingengine.com> hi there, I would like to know how to install tux, I am using an ubuntu system with kernel 2.6.27. The reason I want to install tux is that I am developing a user-space web-server which now runs faster than litespeed web server, and I would like to benchmark it against tux. The doc here http://people.redhat.com/mingo/TUX-patches/QuickStart-TUX.txt is out of date and the userspace utils mentioned there are no longer available in that directory. Where can I get them? The most recent patch there is for 2.6.18, do I have to use that earlier kernel version with tux, or does someone have a patch for 2.6.27 or newer? Is it possible to build and load tux as a module or do I need to compile the entire kernel? thanks, Sam Watkins From keskinege at gmail.com Wed Apr 1 08:04:39 2009 From: keskinege at gmail.com (Kursad Keskinege) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 11:04:39 +0300 Subject: installing tux In-Reply-To: <1238572865.9403.1308374017@webmail.messagingengine.com> References: <1238572865.9403.1308374017@webmail.messagingengine.com> Message-ID: <99f30dbd0904010104s623a4094ocf5479e785e9eefd@mail.gmail.com> Hi Sam, personally, I would suggest nginx for litespeed replacement, www.nginx.net, it's quite well under heavy load, incredible session numbers it can support, also built in http load balancing.

I am writing my own web server with specific features not found on other web servers, so I'm not interested in actually using another web server, I only want to benchmark them. My webserver outperforms all of the other web servers I have benchmarked. I also want to test it against tux, that's why I want to know the best way to install tux. Is tux still included in fedora distributions? thanks, Sam From keskinege at gmail.com Wed Apr 1 09:12:22 2009 From: keskinege at gmail.com (Kursad Keskinege) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 12:12:22 +0300 Subject: installing tux In-Reply-To: <1238576870.24398.1308379449@webmail.messagingengine.com> References: <1238572865.9403.1308374017@webmail.messagingengine.com> <99f30dbd0904010104s623a4094ocf5479e785e9eefd@mail.gmail.com> <1238576870.24398.1308379449@webmail.messagingengine.com> Message-ID: <99f30dbd0904010212n64772341vd94b2e0b009df12e@mail.gmail.com> not tested recently, it was there, but as I said, it had grot reliability issue. even worser, if tux crashes system crashes, no way out without a hard reset. Sam, is your server optimized for images? Thank you.

Is tux still included in fedora distributions? > I have tried too, with much of the same problems you had. There is no patch for recent kernel and it is not obvious how should one adapt it manually. Can you point us to data about your tachyon ( I mean, if it is online) or is it, in accordance to the name, entirely in superluminal domain ;o) ? As far as the names go, wouldn't neutrino be better choice ?

Well, it's here: http://sam.nipl.net/tachyon/tachyon.tgz there's a README there now. I called it tachyon when I was able to make it go faster than litespeed web server :) I don't really recommend anyone to use it at the moment except for fun, because it's a work in progress. I am hosting my small websites with it. > BTW: When doing benchmarks, you might want to consider KoanLogic's Klone > ( http://www.koanlogic.com ) thanks, I'll check it out.

To start tux, just execute service tux start.
