Supported?!

It is not what this page says

http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/hardware/sony-ps3.shtml

As a PS2 Linux owner, I see Sony's Linux support for the PS3 as a marketing trick.

Where is the graphics support? How come it is an official supported OS, and only half of the hardware is really supported on the Yellow Dog distribution?

We PS2 Linux owners know that the support used to be much better than what Yellow Dog provides for the PS3.

Many people say that we should be glad just to have the opportunity to program the Cell processor. For me that is not enough.

I want a Linux distribution for the PS3 that provides me the same hardware access that the PS2 Linux provides.

Well, it's supported as well as Sony will allow it to be, I should have said. Sony wont Linux PS3 touch the graphics.
