> What I find really disgusting is how Sony first enabled, even encouraged end-users to boot Linux on the PS3, and then thoughtlessly yanked away that privilege.
This was to work around the stupid European tax codes on 'personal computers' versus 'gaming consoles'. Once the code changed then along with that so did Sony's support of Linux on the PS3.
This sucked, but it just is another reminder that closed gardens can't grow open source software.
