It's a somewhat popular motherboard / system feature. Some manufacturers
embed a Linux system either in Flash memory or in a hard drive partition
that comes before the main system. This OS is a streamlined Linux system
containing a web browser, an email client, a music player and some other
apps. It can even access documents in the main hard drive. This gives an
auxilliary system that boots real fast and can browse the web in seconds.

This is mostly used as a "backup" OS, or as a fast system that you boot on
the go when you have only quick things to do.
