So its only the good stuff and not the bad stuff you can post about? I
think someone might buy a PS3 thinking they are getting an advanced Computer
that they can run Linux on, and it turns out their current Desktop maybe
faster.
It not a weakness in Linux, I was taking about but the Cell CPU.

True but its not the cutting edge CPU that Sony is hyping, the CPU that no
will ever use all the power. There are good things about the CPUs but you
many not want to run Linux on the consoles, from everything I have read
the perform will not be higher than what is currently available. It will
run some types of programs much faster but others slower, its reminds me of
the folding@home on ATI GPU, but do you want to run all your programs on
the GPU?
