"I say that not because I expect Linux to be there (far from
it), but I was attending an event hosted by a company which once
rose to prominence of the back of a Linux-based operating
system.
"As I've commented before, one of the reasons why ASUS's
original Eee PC received so much notoriety what the fact that it
was not only the first ultra-portable netbook, but the first
netbook that shipped with Linux in a "mass market" way.
"Sure there may have been others before it, but the Eee PC
defined the market for a commodity netbook PC based on standard
components running a Linux-based OS."
