Fedora Linux Running on PlayStation 3
Speculation is the PS/3, XBox 360 (Microsoft XBox 360 Gaming Console) and WII will fight for the ‘desktop’ of the living room. Klippoth has posted this video of a full install of Fedora Linux running on the new Sony PS/3. Dual boots on the PS/3? It’s a reality!

Halaster has posted a video of a Fedora 5 Install on the Playstation 3 as well… (POV filming, kinda cool)

From the Playstation Website, here’s more information on the “Open Platform” of the Sony Playstation 3!
PLAYSTATION®3
allows a third-party system software to be installed on it besides its system software provided by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Such third-party system software is referred to as “Other OS”.
Installing an “Other OS” on PLAYSTATION®3 requires two files. One is the “Other OS Installer” distributed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (which is called installer hereafter), and the other is the “Other OS boot loader” (called boot loader hereafter) provided by the third party.
The installer installs the boot loader of an “Other OS” on a boot‐loader‐dedicated storage area of PLAYSTATION®3. Once the boot loader of an “Other OS” has been successfully installed, it automatically starts up instead of the PLAYSTATION®3’s system software at every power on by selecting it as”Default System”in the menu of the PLAYSTATION®3’s system software.
The installer installs only the boot loader of an “Other OS”. It is assumed that any further installations, such as the installation of “Other OS” files on the built-in hard disk of PLAYSTATION®3, are performed when the installed boot loader starts up. For more details, please contact the provider of the boot loader you are using.
Please note that we can accept no inquiries or requests about any “Other OS” and the boot loader. If you have any inquiries or requests on an “Other OS” or the boot loader, please contact the provider directly.

linux vs.windows webhosting.???I wondered which should be used for dynamics sites using flash CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) javascript forms etc.
I was looking at this companies corporate plan and would like to have the option to set up several seperate websites for different customers
assigning each an allotment of space with seperate access by them and allowing me access is this site suitable for my needs or is it as it seems just too good to be true???
