| What you won't find on that site are sources. ASUS is bound by the GPL to
| make the sources for the software they're distributing available, even if
| they have not modified them. (Check the license if you don't believe me.)
| ASUS has posted a 1.8GB ZIP file on their website that they claim is the
| sources, but it's not -- it contains a few .debs (not even the versions that
| ship on the machine) and some kernel headers. (Perhaps they figured nobody
| would pull 1.8GB from their slow-as-molasses site and find out.)
