My initial readings of the playstation three blurbs/"datasheets"
reveals they were incomplete. In addition to gigabit ethernet, it
does have USB support. Phil Covington pointed out this page:
http://felter.org/wesley/files/ps3/linux-20061110-docs/LinuxKernelOverview.html
and Sony is supporting the kernel development. I spoke with
knowledgeable people with Yellow Dog and have been having participating
in ongoing talks with IBM and Mercury and this has all produced some
good results.
Now if we can only get our hands on one or more of these PS3's. If you
want to get a real laugh, search for PS3 using froogle and look at all
of the listings in the thousands of dollars. MADNESS.
Anyway, now that we have very good information, I have placed my
pre-order with Yellow Dog Linux FROM Yellow Dog Linux for $100. This is
a nonrefundable deposit. If you do this, it comes preloaded with YDL,
running when it shows up, and the delta price between PS3 and PS3+YDL is
less than them individually.
