This should read:
"A few (very few?) people installed Linux on their PS3 over Christmas
(it's free, so why not?)."
The fact remains that the PS3 is a gaming console that gamers buy to

to Linux boxes.

So what? The original XBox and PS2 can also run Linux. Yet the number
of people running Linux on a GAMING CONSOLE is negligible.
