Free Linux on PS3 this year

| What's more, if you wait a little while it won't actually cost
| anything. Terra Soft's "YDL.net" service users (who pay a fee)
| will be able to get it first, as a PC distribution that allows
| for the creation of a PS3 install-disc; then two weeks later
| you'll be able to order ready-made PS3 install discs for a cost;
| and another two weeks after that the PS3 distribution will be
| released onto public mirrors.

$600 for a powerful gaming box /and/ a virus-free computer seems
like a bargain all of a sudden.

| As well as a single-click install mode for Linux newbies,
| Terra Soft will include an advanced installer. The operatings
| ystem itself is based on the Fedora Core 5, with an integrated
| E17 desktop, and bundled FireFox 1.5.0, Thunderbird 1.5.0,
| OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 and other applications.

This brings computing to some households that previously had
no PC/s.
