Playstation 3 to ship with Linux

(1/2) > >>

Lord C:
"Gamespot.com is reporting that Ken Kutaragi, president
of Sony Computer Entertainment, has disclosed in an interview that
Playstation 3 will natively run Linux. In fact, it will come bundled
with it, if you purchase the HDD peripheral." From the article: "But
while Linux would require a hard drive to run on, Kutaragi told Impress
PC Watch, 'We're not going to equip [the PS3 with] a HDD by default,
because no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it won't be enough.'
It was unclear whether he was referring to the previously known fact that
the PS3 would not have an internal hard drive or whether he was
indicating that the device would not come with the external 2.5-inch
detachable HDD outlined in the specs revealed at E3."

MrX:
yay

Jenda:
w00t... might even consider it!

MarathoN:
I hope this is true, if it is, this is great news. :)

Refalm:
I don't know which is better news, Linux on the PS3 hard disk or the hard disk inside PS3.

I've heard from PS2 owners that memory for the PS2 is a pain in the arse.
