New ASUS 'Instant-On Linux' Details

Posted on Tuesday, October 09 2007 @ 1:02 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Following our ASUS Motherboard Ships With Embedded Linux, Web Browser article, ASUS has released a series of slides to Phoronix containing additional information about their "Express Gate" functionality. Express Gate is meant to be complementary to your traditional operating system for when you want to surf the Internet without fear of Windows attacks and when you don't want to wait for your computer to turn on. ASUS Express Gate also consumes less power than using a traditional operating system. We've been asked in the Phoronix Forums how this technology works, and this ASUS document did provide a brief technical overview.
