ps3 have a common processor that only administrate other 6 processors. Linux will only use the power of the base procesor that is , hmmm crap. the true power its about using all the processors. shure you can buy a ps3 as computer but you can get a pc as useful as the ps3 for 400 dls.

think about it, runing linux a lot of people will buy it. its simillar to the zune strategy. if you make something "hackeable" and keep it under control people will buy just because they can add a browser or program some stuff on it. i think linux will not help hackers to play backups but will help them to create a lot of homebrew stuff that will atract a lot of people to buy ps3.

Have you seen Linux on the PS3? What do you think, Linux doesn't support multi processor systems? puhleeeze. Even from the earliest boot vids of Linux on the PS3 we see all of the cores up and running. Have someone with one of these cat /proc/cpuinfo.

Anyhow, if you want to crunch some data, the PS3 is a decently affordable way of doing it.
