Games Sony's PS3, scheduled to be released near the end of this year, has been slated to have a hard drive that will support and will even include preinstalled Linux. This could be a breakthrough event not just for Linux but also for other alternative operating systems as well. The PS3 will almost certainly sell millions and millions of units, providing a unique opportunity for people to try something that would be more difficult on their regular computer.

What Sony does with their preinstalled Linux is not really the point -- the point of my article was that if they are putting Linux on there, other people should be able to put their own software on there as well. I imagine that most people who use their PS3 won't ever even boot into Linux at all, that it will be an entirely different aspect of the system from the game playing parts.
