Found out about that on eeeuser.com, and they had a link to their new site cloudbooker.com.
Downloading gOS, the operating system the CloudBook will use. Downloading from bittorrent is to slow, thanks to comcast.
Update
gOS is based on ubuntu 7.10, it uses e17 for the window manager. I like the look of gOS compared to the OS on the asus eee pc, hell install gOS on the asus eee pc. If you go to run command, you can type in xterm, and run xterm, if you need a terminal. It already has the synaptic package manager installed.
