I like it. Maybe somebody can get OSX on there and then we can have some more fun.

What is it about linux?

I used linux as my primary OS for 3 months and I didn't like it (I ended buying a Mac), but now whenever I hear about Linux I want to use it again. I've already installed iPod Linux on my iPod, and now I'm installing Damn Small Linux on my old laptop, and SuSe on my old computer, and now i'm gonna have to buy a PS3 so I can install Fedora.

I think that's is pretty cool but how wants to spend $600 on Linux running console when I could by a normal pc that would probability rub it faster any ways.

I guess so that whenever you show off your PS3 you can be all like "Yeah it plays games, but it also can run linux!". I dunno, I think the point is another use for a PS3 once you have one, not a reason to buy a PS3.
