Hmmm.  Hadn't heard that.  I had been debating on a PS3, but I can
build a Core2 based machine with more RAM for cheaper.  I don't really
game.  However, I am debating on BD, and that may finally push me to
it.  Myself, I'd hack the case and add fans....

That's not very encouraging.  If I picked up a PS3, I'd have to run
linux on it.  YaST unfortunately wants to install all kinds of stuff
no matter how you try to cut down your install.  I used a SuSE Studio
disk created for me that was really cut down, and when I ran the
software management app, it tried to install basically the default
install.  Took forever to taboo all that crap, and then I ended up
having to install off of the DVD anyway because I screwed something
up.

I really wish there was a Damn Small Linux type distro for the PPC.
I've looked into trying to make one, but I don't have the time(or
patience probably).  I've got a bunch of old macs that don't like the
new versions of the current distros very much.  I recently put SuSE
7.3 on one of my Powerbooks(thanks again to a fellow list person) and
it was so much faster than 11.0.  And everything worked right away.
Oh well.
