Yeah. Although most of us here are probably not gamers, one of the  
main attributes of the PS3, as I see it, is great video hardware.

This basically reduces the possible video down to the level of a dumb  
framebuffer, making it one of the fastest CLI-based machines around :-)

I thought it was too good to be true that Sony, the home of the  
rootkits, would be so kind to Linux folks.
