Actually by now you could install pretty much any Linux flavour on the
PS3.  I was talking specifically about what system software they used
to provision the 2000+ PS3s.  You would still need to manually switch
each PS3 to boot from "otheros", but beyond that it would be nice to
have an automated system of provisioning the OS...

Cheers,
