Yellow Dog Linux 5 has been announced. Surprisingly, it will first be released for Sony's Playstation 3, and then later for PPC Macs. Yellow Dog Linux 5 for the Playstation 3 will use E17 as its desktop environment (YDL's page on E17), which will be a boost to E17's adoption rate. Sony had mentioned the PS3 would include Linux in some capacity, but it has been unclear how Linux would fit into the rest of the system.

Does this mean you'll be able to run emulators and homebrew on it? If so, this might be worth the $600. For that, you get a machine that does 1080p, can play pretty much every arcade & console game ever made up to (and possibly including) the Dreamcast, along with PS2 & PS3 games. And just for bonus, there's probably some DVR capabilities and a blu-ray player in there too.
