Is this possible for the new Macbooks as well? OS X officially support two finger tracking.

[tannewt]

Nope, it needs the multitouch (3+) hardware.

Will the three/four finger multitouch gestures work on an early 2008 MacBook with a magic trackpad

[EPS5000]

Is that a 2007 or 2008 MacBook Pro?

The site seems to be down, when will it be up? I want to try this on my multi touch mouse pad.

[tannewt]

Yeah, Ubuntu. But choice is nice too!

On what version of MBP has this demo been running? BEFORE early 2008 ?

What is you actuall website, so I can read a little bit more..

[MacPhantom]

Just .

[MJGrindboy]

Do we know how many fingers the EEE pc touchpads support?

[MJGrindboy]

Just because it looks like one distro doesn't necessarily mean it is! It could be ZenWalk with gnome and the human theme for all we know! Thats the beauty of Linux, so much choice :-)
