Can even get it "pre-installed"....

"Linux distributor TerraSoft is accepting pre-orders for Sony
Playstation3 gaming devices pre-installed with Linux, alongside the PS3's
native gaming OS. Additionally, TerraSoft, IBM, RapidMind, and Vivendi game
publisher High Moon Studios are offering seminars to help game developers
exploit the PS3's Cell architecture.

Sony's Playstation3 does not run Linux as its standard OS. However, the
device's Cell BE processor has been supported in the mainline Linux kernel
since late last year, and TerrSoft has offered a version of its Yellow Dog
Linux for the Playstation3 since October -- a month before the PS3 actually
shipped.

TerraSoft says its Linux-enabled PS3 will come with a DVD, installation
guide, sticker, and "flippy" -- presumably a dog toy. The device
will have a 60GB hard drive, 256MB of non-expandable Rambus RAM, gigabit
Ethernet, WiFi, 4 USB ports, a Blueray DVD player, and HDMI and Sony Multi
AV graphics ports. Users must supply a keyboard and mouse, and must
purchase separate HDMI or component-to-multi-AV cables in order to connect
the device to high-definition displays (the PS3 supports "1080p"
output). "
