Everyone wants to optimize their systems so they get a quick boot up time?  What if there was a way to get a system to boot into Linux in 5 seconds with drivers ready to go – Internet Browsing in 5 seconds!  Here’s the answer.

The newly-released Asus P5E3 Deluxe motherboard includes embedded Linux that can be booted in under five seconds. The embedded operating system also includes a stripped down Firefox browser and Skype, so within seconds of booting you can be on the Internet.

With a fast bootup speed of only 5 seconds, the ASUS Express Gate offers an optional Linux OS bootup that allows you to enjoy instant access to commonly used functions like accessing the Internet, VoIP, and Web emailing without entering the OS.

The Asus Express Gate is based on a flavour of Linux called SplashTop. With Splashtop your computer is ready to use seconds after you turn it on. Instead of waiting for a full boot, you have Web access in mere seconds. Chat, surf, play a game – all one click away.

Splashtop is a secure Web-surfing environment. You can surf the Web while staying immune to many of the attacks that plague Windows.
