Dump your PC and Get a PS3!

| Are you still running on a single core Intel with 256 MB of RAM and a nVidia
| 5200? You may be thinking it's time to upgrade that jalopy setup you have and
| go to the shiny, candy coated world of Vista. Whoa! Hold yer horses there,
| cowboy! A better option lies around the corner from a source you may not have
| expected: Your Playstation. Since late last year, Yellow Dog Linux (Made by
| Terra Soft Solutions) has been the official secondary operating system for
| Playstation 3 (GameOS is the default). Other versions of Linux have been
| confirmed as being compatible, including Ubuntu, Fedoro Core 7, Gentoo, and
| Debian but, I'm am unaware if they are as easy to install or if they even
| work as well as Yellow Dog.
