Not a stub anymore

This article's definitely not a stub anymore... any have some more ideas on what can be added to this article? I'll try taking a look in /usr/src/linux and see if I can find the C source to TUX, to discuss the actual implementation Eric M Gearhart

TUX source and readme

This is a very good article. I'll look through the source code as well and see if there's anything interesting in it. No doubt there'll be some interesting documentation :-) --Joshua David Williams 11:43, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
I can't find the source code for download anywhere. Isn't there an official project page somewhere? --Joshua David Williams 11:47, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
I finally found it here. I still haven't found a project page, though. Perhaps it's a Cathedral-style application? --Joshua David Williams 11:49, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
No it's definitely not Cathedral-style because patches to the kernel would have to be GPL'd... the patches to the kernel weren't included in 2.4.

Josh, yeah please do. I'd love to see the comments he's got in there. I've gotta get some sleep. I'll take a look at my email when I wake up and am more in a "writing mood." Thanks man Eric M Gearhart
