eldavojohn writes "Despite reports from the CEO that the PS3 will ship with Linux, LinuxDevices is now saying that it won't. Also, despite a rumor that the Wii will have Linux, the originator of the rumor has revealed himself to be a prankster. This won't stop you from putting Yellow Dog on the PS3 or running WiiLi, a live Linux CD for the Wii."

    Who besides smelly, sexless nerds give two shits about Lunix on consoles? Why must you fucktards shoehorn Lunix on every device that's released? Go back to playing Tux Racer on your Pentium Pros you filthy communists!
