So basically, it's only licensed posessors of the GameOS SDK who get to play with the PS3's graphics at full pelt...

...perhaps if linux could be run as a Game within the GameOS...? Maybe the Knoppix folk can help out...

Anyway, besides satisfying the inner geek within by installing linux on my PS3, I'm really only here because I want my PS3 to act as a sexy Media Centre PC ( which would cost me a good deal more than £425 to build )

If a GameOS developer wrote a GameOS 'game' that could play anything thrown at it, including stuff sitting on my PC hard drive other the network, I'd pay £50 for that just to get some sleep, and use linux for something else ( ..now what? )

...either that or wait 'till Sony can do all that in XMB via firmware update.
:-}
