Well, according to this, PS3 might ship with Linux: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=9480 Whether that also means it'll ship with gcc and a proper OpenGL implementation that takes advantage of the Cell processor/graphics hardware I don't know (and the article doesn't say - it just mentions stuff like photo and video editing), we can live in hope though. It'd certainly be nice if we could write our own games/apps and distribute them via the web, e.g. have Sony create a homebrew repository that people can access for free via broadband from the PS3 system menu or something like that. (or if they charged to download homebrew it'd be nice if we got a cut too :)) I was hoping for a Yaroze PSP kit at one point, I wonder if we'll ever see one? Andy
