but yeah Linux is good, people just need to make the leap of faith and give it a try... it loads up way faster than vista or xp for that matter.

I agree. I was kind of unsure of whether or not I would like Linux, but a while back I decided to install Ubuntu on my desktop and I love it!

Great idea, and a nice little 1 up on the competition.

Support for Linux seems to be growing everyday.

A smart and bold move. Helps to give easier, faster access to small things. Totally sticking with ASUS from now on.

Now if they could just make motherboards that didn't have so many glitches with memory. I've had 2 ASUS motherboards in the last 2 years. The first wouldn't jive with the RAM I installed, even though it said it supported said RAM. The second just blew up on me for no real reason. But, coolness on supporting Linux like that. I need to give it a try sometime. I just need to make a new partition...

Now this is really awesome!
I wonder if it will allow to install other OSes from image files.
