A buddy of mine just got this: asus p5ql/epu motherboard.  It came with Splashtop:  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop</a><div><br></div><div>... which is a linux distribution that boots in like 5 seconds or so.  Complete with BlackBox for a window manager, Skype, an instant messager client and firefox.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wonder if it could be changed to be a plan 9 terminal, or if one could at least get 9vx on it.</div><div><br></div><div>Dave</div>
