Linux is Part of Asus’s Long Term Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| Asus announced three new Linux products.
|
| I would even go so far to say that if Asus keeps up its support of Linux, it
| may be the company that is credited with bringing Linux on the desktop to the
| masses.

Big mods for the small Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| During the 2007 holiday season, there was another small, white and cheap tech
| device that became a hard-to-find bestseller: the ultra-portable Eee PC
| notebook by ASUS. (It also comes in black and three other colors, but the
| white model appears to be the most popular.) Despite looking like a toy, the
| Eee PC is a fully capable computer primarily meant for wireless Internet use.
| It runs Linux and includes Firefox and OpenOffice.

Asus Eee PC: Why is it SO Hot?
,----[ Quote ]
| Laptop magazine almost blew its dongle over the Asus, breathlessly
| proclaiming it, “Pound for pound, the best value-priced notebook on the
| planet.” (What, not the entire solar system?) CNET took a more tempered
| approach, yet still deemed it a “near perfect choice for a highly portable
| second or backup laptop.”

ASUS preps $500 'iMac killer' Eee PC desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| The computer builder also says it will build a headless desktop, the E-DT,
| which will at first use a Celeron but then switch to the Shelton platform.
| Most details are unavailable, though the price should range between $200 and
| $300 and is being pushed towards the $200 mark. A third system known as the
| E-TV will combine a basic Eee PC platform with a 42-inch LCD TV and should
| cost about $200 more than a comparable TV that ships without such features.

2007's most important IT lesson is spelled with an Eee
,----[ Qote ]
| The Eee shows too just how out of date the 'is Linux ready for the desktop?'
| argument is. Yes it is. Anyone can pick up an Eee with its standard Linux
| distro - or with a number of freely available alternatives - and just use it.
| That alone revitalises the 'is this paid-for operating system value for
| money?' question.
