The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) runs Linux, but getting it to run well requires some tweaking. In the third and final article of this series on PS3 Linux Peter Seebach talks about ways to get X11 slimmed down to fit on a smaller memory budget.

The only real reason Sony let users install Linux on the hardware is so they could classify it as a computer and thus reduce their taxes or something like that. They tried the same thing with the PS2. Granted they did put more effort into it than they did with the PS2 but they aren't really serious about it. Sony and IBM are trying to sell you a cell powered computer, they don't want you use a your cellpowered console and convert that into a computer, they can't charge you $$$ for that. Besides that things have really gone down hill if 256MB of ram isn't enough to run an OS. I remember when 64MB got you a full working OS with the works.
