Both you and him claim I said it is stupid to do anything else, why I never once claimed that. Also, yeah, he was getting worked up ("This is the fucking problem with geeks today", "Because you fucking CAN!"). I did not criticize anyone, genuinely asked why someone would install Linux on a PS3, not saying "@@LOLOLOL ALL U PS3 LINUKS FAGGITS ROFLMAO". If you and him see it as a personal attack on all those who simply find it interesting, that is not my problem.
I think you are confusing actual research with "lets run Linux on everything including a toaster powered by a grandma on a hamster wheel". The PS3 is a gaming console. It was designed to run a specific type of software as smooth as (arguably) possible. You want to research it? Crack it? Fine. Have fun. Don't get all worked up over me buying it to play games on it.
There are amazing technologies being developed as we argue here, but I doubt having emacs on a PS3 is creating the next great breakthrough.
I really can't see a good reason to install Linux on a PS3 except for once again proving that Linux goes on everything with a microchip. I'd rather buy a cheap pc for Linux, and have a working keyboard...

Cool, I didn't know that, thanks!

but why? why put yourself through the trouble of making it run, when you could run Linux on a computer way easier and keep playing games on the PS3?

Read much Ayn Rand?
Understanding the octupus is really, really, important in terms of the book's literary value.
Can you read that line out loud with a straight face?
