Installed TUX for the first time yesterday and it worked "Out of the
Box" I was so gobsmacked that I rang another techy friend - its
excellent.

As a small question - you appeared to be sync'ing with AC patches - but
you do not appear to be doing that now - are the zero copy patches
intergrated into 2.4.2 (I may have missed that ;-)

Also a small bug in the rpm.spec file in the tux2.0.12 tools doistro has
a build dependancy on glade - and hence if glade is not installed the
docs / man pages do not get made / installed.

Thanks again for all your work !

ps Is anyone using this in a production environment with a mod_perl
apache ?
