PS3 to ship with Linux, Sony confirms:
Sony President Ken Kutaragi confirmed that the Playstation 3 (PS3) has been delayed, at a press conference in Tokyo earlier this week. Kutaragi additionally confirmed that the gaming console will ship with an upgradable 60GB hard drive pre-installed with Linux, according to in-depth coverage at 1up.com.
Wow. This is already an amazing thing if it actually happens - at Sony, you only know what they are doing when they have done it. Wouldn't be the first plan that is quietly dropped. But a gaming console with an "official" Linux would be interesting.
