I believe that HP are using Splashtop OS to achieve 'Instant-on' |
| 9 |
functionality, which is running an embedded Linux kernel from ROM, with |
| 10 |
bootsplash, squashfs, and blackbox as the main binaries. Asus, Acer and |
| 11 |
others also joined in the fun. |

Unless I got this wrong, the PC is essentially dual booting between the ROM |
| 18 |
resident OS and the disk OS. The latter can be any OS inc. Gentoo of course. |
