Linux is making great strides in the consumer market lately. Although there had been forays by different companies before, when Dell came out with their Linux line, it was clear that Linux for the general consumer had arrived. Since then, other companies have followed suit, like Lenovo, and even Wallmart. But there is one product that seems to have really accelerated this trend and has managed to open a whole new class of products. This is the little tiny Linux laptop named the Eee PC.
