Excuse my ignorance, but does this also mean that the source code for the hardware drivers is made available to the Linux community. 

If so then this is truly great and i await a multitude of nimble little distro's for the Eee and its ilk. Eeebuntu anyone?

If not, then my excitement wanes somewhat. But still big props to Asus for what they have achieved, the Eee looks very nice indeed.

I await to see what next year brings from Intel and friends.

(Wii and now Eee, its like weird single syllable naming one-upmanship)

You can find the drivers here
