| Without spoiling the review of this motherboard that will be published
| shortly, the ASUS P5E3 Deluxe is one of the most innovative motherboards we
| have seen to date and it packs one very exciting and unusual feature.
| Embedded onto the P5E3 Deluxe is a Linux environment that features a
| Firefox-rebranded web browser and the Skype VoIP client! Within five seconds
| of turning on this $360 USD gaming/enthusiast motherboard, you can be using
| Linux and surfing the Internet.

| In my area ASUS just started replacing Windows laptop stickers with: made for
| Red Flag Linux! Although Ubuntu is much better- from what I can see ASUS
| laptops no longer say (for Windows) here in China! Incredible. This is the
| first gradual (at least partial) step I believe. However they aren't
| installing Linux just yet. Vista is a flop and there is a strong open source
| undercurrent here that even the (sheep like) laptop sellers can't catch.
