“I also don’t own a PS3 and I have no intention of buying one.
But if I did own one, I’d use it for games and Blu-ray discs.
That’s it. Why on earth would I want to run Linux on such a limited
machine?

“I could build my own computer with truly kick ass components
and enjoy Linux far more than with Sony’s already aging and
relatively puny videogame console. And I could easily swap out
older components for newer components, thus making a DIY box last
far longer than a silly videogame console.”
