I think if Sony would have opened up the GPU to Linux, this situation wouldn't have happened. You could basically run whatever you wanted thru Linux. Hackers are trying to break into the PS3 to get access to the GPU and all cores. Unfortunately, it they succeed in opening it up, no matter how noble there cause is, the pirates come in and thats that. There could also be a simpler explanation for the removal of other OS, and that is Sony only makes money when games are bought, and the Air Force or Universities don't buy games for their PS3 clusters.
