I'm thinking of using Linux on the ps3

I was gonna do this but I have a small 40 GB HDD. psubuntu is a great site, it has all the stuff you need to get running. You can run all the emulators that use the PPC(?) structure. Or is it the other way around? I haven't looked into it in a while.

well, the problem is the video hardware acceleration part, I don't think they've optimized it to the point where they can run everything full screen and fluently because the GPU is locked, but if you have a big TV, it's not as bad, you can always just run those emulators on your PC or laptop outputting to the HDTV and plug in a 360 controller though, it's kinda pointless to do those things on the PS3 atm tbh.

If you don't have a decent PC, then yeah there's not much point other than to experiment. It's too bad that Wine doesn't run on it though, we could have got a lot of good PC games running. (Not new ones of course, but old classics)
