(see here http://www.specbench.org/osg/web99/ for exactly > what). From the TUX manual: "Summary of System Requirements ... Alternate web server such as Apache running on the same server to process unknown requests". It's like saying AbiWord is a full office suite, just add Gnumeric, etc! What TUX does, it does well. But until it doesn't need Apache in order to do "real world" work, I can't consider it a "real world" webserver. I especially find disingenuous that the SPECweb results show "HTTP Software - TUX 2.0" with no indication that Apache was used. Let's see TUX beat Apache without the help of Apache!
