Asus has decided to make the Splashtop instant-on Linux feature a part of its entire motherboard line up. The Asus installation makes use of a dedicated memory chipset linked to the BIOS and takes about a second to boot.

There are ton of advantages to having a lean Linux installation with virtually no boot time; especially when you consider how long it takes to boot Vista at the best of times. If you only need to turn on your computer to make a Skype call or check your email, it is possible. A second OS installed in this way also makes things easy when you need to troubleshoot Windows problems. [Tweak Town]
