Can you use php with tux?  I have to admit, I don't know the first
thing about tux as I've never looked at it.  But having a web server
in kernel-land just strikes me as being really really wrong for some
reason...

My impression is that the kernel was supposed to do kernel-ish
stuff...  I mean, granted, the Windows kernel includes Internet
Explorer, but that's different... it's just a browser.  =)  (just kidding)
