Sony - No linux in Slim - View Post

Installing Linux onto PS3 is not an easy task to perform. I could not not be bothered doing it. I have heard Linux does not offer much to the PS3 besides allowing you to use the PS3 as a PC. 256MB is not much memory to run OS on it.

wrong, it's same as on a desktop. actually way faster, i think mainly due the CPU. partition feature on XMB is even easier.

and linux is free, they don't have to pay a fee.

linux runs fine in a 256mb, xubuntu especially. only needs 192mb  for the live CD that runs everything from the CD, and it uses alot less.
