Sweet... the PS3 is going to make a sick HTPC-type device.

Hey, guys, I have one question, what linux distro will the PS3 will have? Gentoo, Redhat, Fedora? I am hooked on Gentoo, (All the way!) and, I wanted to know, if you change any OS stuff will the PS3 stop playing games? Just wondering...

heh, no you can still play games.  There is a patch to use existing PowerPC capable distros to work on the PS3 and of course the "official" PS3 distro Yellowdog.
