It's only present in Fedora kernels, as it's one of the few patches
we haven't managed to get upstream.

If you don't know, you probably don't need it :)
It's a httpd accelerator. Unless you have a need for a really
high performance webserver, you can just rpm -e tux
That's the answer I was looking for on this subject, thanks.
That was quick, maybe 2 seconds and there is another compile running in
the background.

sudo ?
For another 30+ lines of script? I'd have to study up on wrapping that
one up correctly.
Side comment here. I know my present .config is probably building quite a
few more modules that I don't need since I started with a make oldconfig,
but can that explain why a kernel build that a month ago on gcc-3.3.4
took 10 to 11 minutes, it now taking nearly 30 minutes to do with this
newer compiler suite FC6 installs?
Thanks Dave
