Hi all,
I'm looking for Debian users who use some sort of
kernel-space http daemon.
Is it TUX, kHTTPd, or some other code?
Is there an apt repository someone is maintaining
with the pre-packaged ports of the kernel and user-space controls for
TUX?
I appreciate any feedback about using kernel-space
http daemons/services with Debian, and especially feedback that answers those
questions.
Background: I am researching and tenativly preparing to switch
a few servers running RedHat 7.3 to Debian 3.0. On one of the servers I am
making use of the Threaded LinUX/RedHat Content Accelerator (TUX/RHCA) web
server. There's a lot of static content on that server, so maybe TUX is saving
some CPU cycles for dynamic content requests that are handled by Apache mod_cgi.
As I work to duplicate all of the services and configurations on the live
servers onto backup/replacement systems, I noticed that I couldn't find TUX by
any name I could think of in the Package lists.
I'm having keyword block or something, because I
can't find anything about using TUX in Debian on lists.debian.org or google.com.
Not even a single 3rd party unofficial apt repository. Maybe it's because
TUX is an overused name and it's hard to find what I'm looking for with it
as a search term, or maybe it's because it was written buy a guy working at
RedHat and like the 'service' and 'chkconfig' programs, Debian has it's own way
of doing things.
I've read into kHTTPd, and have seen some
indication from year-old articles that maybe it was going to be dropped from the
kernel. Also it's latest stable release didn't support HTTP/1.x, so no saving
TCP overhead with keepalive.
