This is where the PS3 is so important. I have got some replays from list
privately which say so what if there Linux on PS3 it just a game counsel.

Well it is truly massive, this is biggest boost Linux has ever got.  In
front rooms up down land soon people will have computer in there living
rooms.  If they want to do computer things on PS3 it will be in Linux.  To
get best out PS3 / Linux you would really need a good display ie HD TV.

I expect in next few months a big growth of interest in Linux just because
of PS3. Some people will not install Linux on there PC just because they
never used Linux before but there better chance of them giving it a go
just because it not a computer as such in there eye's but a game counsel.

Homebrew software for PS3 Linux is going to be big.  It turn it will be
big for everyone on Linux.

Just look at homebrew sean is on the PSP.  The think how great it going to
be without any restrictions any more which Sony put upon it way as in PS3.

Watch an early video of Linux on PS3.
