it's evolving to become a 499$ (some say the price will drop before Xmas) PC
with enough capacity to serve as a supercomputer. If only Sony made all the
capacity available to Linux and other non-homebrew O/Ses...
Maybe one day they will. At present, they deliberate hold it back. There's also
something to be said about ease of installation (or presinatllation, which is
free) of Linux, which Sony let's Terra Soft handle. It raises the price and
slows down delivery, which it shouldn't.
