Basically, Asus are going to have a Linux desktop pre-installed onto a chip on every motherboard they sell.
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/14/173220 ""We first heard about Splashtop back in October, when the instant-on Linux desktop was announced. At the time it was a really exciting concept but Asus only rolled out the technology on high-end motherboards. Splashtop just announced that Asus will be expanding the desktop to the P5Q motherboard family and later on to all Asus motherboards. That's embedded Linux shipping over over a million motherboards a month! The release also mentioned that the technology will be appearing on notebooks this year as well." Good eh?

Asus look to be getting involved with a lot of linuxy things recently. Mj -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
