Yes it does only serve static pages... it passes off dynamic content off to Apache. But usually there is large amount of static content on a web site (images count in there too). And remember that the webspec results are calculated on a mix of dynamic and static content. (see here http://www.specbench.org/osg/web99/ for exactly what). Info on Tux can be found at http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/TUX-2.0-Manual/intro.html Cheers, Julian.
