PS3 HD to include Linux.

Though it won't be inlcuded WITH the system, all PS3 HHD's will include a copy of Linux, this opens up the system to indie development(one HOPES that Sony includes an OpenGL layer for us to access).
Would be cool to see a port of TGE, TSE or T2D for the system.

Well, Apple has actualy SAID that MacOS X-Intel will only work on authorized hardware. They don't plan on selling a version of MacOS to run on vanilla Intel-PC clones.

If Sony are wanting to push the PS3 as a "Super Computer" with linux as one of the OS's, it makes you wonder whether it will ship with a HDD after all.

@Exodus: I heard that Apple made a statement saying that MacOS would only ever run on mac hardware. Which suggests they'll be retaining tight control over what hardware is used. How long it is before someone finds a way to run MacOS on a standard pc is anyones guess, but you can bet it won't be long :P
