I don't want to install Linux just for tux, and I know at least thttpd(or other kqueue-using equivalents) works very well on FreeBSD. I just want to know the possibility and usefulness compared to many userland ones. And for nfs, old usermode nfsd of linux works nicely on FreeBSD. If we improve usermode nfsd for stability and performance, why don't we compare it with kernel-level nfsd implementation? > C> Of course it is a fat job to implement http/ftp in kernel, but it can > C> be a good experiment... > > The experiment is already done. It is called tux. Again, I know what is tux and why there is no such experiment on FreeBSD. Some people explained why, and I agree with them. -- CHOI Junho <http://www.kr.FreeBSD.org/~cjh>; cjh@[kr.]FreeBSD.org Key fingerprint = 1369 7374 A45F F41A F3C0 07E3 4A01 C020 E602 60F5
