ASUS to preload Express Gate instant-on Linux on all new motherboards
Last year ASUS released a motherboard, the P5E3, with an embedded compact Linux distro it called Express Gate. Basically a fast-boot alternative that, in just five seconds, bypassed Windows and gave you a web-browser, media player and other apps, it was developed by a company called DeviceVM (under the name Splashtop).

ASUS bringing Splashtop instant-on OS to all its motherboards
We've seen the Splashtop instant-on OS demoed on ASUS gear in the past, and now it looks like the company is making the love official: it's going to start shipping it on all its motherboards. ASUS is calling the platform "Express Gate," but it's the same instant-on, ready-to-browse environment we've known about since October: an embedded Linux distro that runs Firefox and Skype off a memory chip linked directly to the BIOS.

Splashtop Linux desktop helps fight global warming
The Splashtop Linux desktop, supposing you have the right motherboard, allows users to get onto the internet in seconds from a computer that was turned off. It does not require a full boot up into the main OS to access it so it means your computer can be kept off much of the time (though not unplugged) and quickly accessed as necessary. Using the application it should be easy to keep your computer off much of the time without having to wait a few minutes just to check your email or visit a website.

Splashtop "Instant On" motherboard
So I have had on my desk for about week now a sweet little ASUS laptop containing one of the new Splashtop motherboards. Don’t know what Splashtop is?

What's new with Operating Systems?
In the light of fast-paced changes on the browser front, are users finding that innovation at the desktop has stagnated? Has it? Or is there a lot brewing "under the hood" that we're just not aware of, yet take for granted as our user experience improves incrementally?

A hands-on look at the Splashtop instant-on Linux environment
San Jose-based startup DeviceVM made waves last year when it unveiled Splashtop, a nearly instant-on Linux environment stored in the flash memory usually reserved for motherboard BIOS. The company previewed an upcoming revision to Splashtop at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in January, then gave us the chance to take a hands-on look at this intriguing system software.

Tip of the Trade: SplashTop
A typical Windows PC or server takes anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds to boot up. But that's just the beginning of the startup process: All the nagware, automatic updates, malware scans, hardware scans, indexing, connecting to network shares, and whatever applications want to start up after boot have to run through their paces. This can consume as much as another 30 minutes if you're unlucky, although around five to six minutes is more typical. If you're in a hurry, there's not much you can do except find something else to do— unless you have a DeviceVM's SplashTop-enabled computer.
