Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux 425
Marty writes "The PlayStation 3 has recently seen an explosion
of releases of emulators and games for the Yellow Dog Linux distro for PS3;
once you have installed Yellow
Dog Linux you then have the ability to try out MAME,
SNES, Amiga, Dos,
Commodore and Atari
emulators (that's the tip of the iceberg) and such games as Quake
2, Duke Nukem 3D, Hexen 2 and Alephone. Time to start installing Linux on your PS3?"

I'm not a gamer and for the longest time I have been trying to decide if I want to buy a PS3. If only it had more ram.

Dude, I would so love a Beowulf-Cluster of Linux Grandma powered toasters. Grandma would get her exercise. I would be able to start my toaster from my cellphone. Everyone would get toast. There could be toast preference presets that auto adjust with biometrics, I could sell my toast data to Google Trends and eat it too. EVERYONE WINS WITH GRANDMA POWERED LINUX TOASTERS!

You misspelled the typo. It's "I herd you liek[...]"
I don't know how to feel about that...

You know, when I bought my Wii, it was becuase it represented a new paradigm in gaming, and the games that were already available for it were incredibly fun and interesting.
When I bought my 360, I knew it would be the PS2 of this generation, filled with the interesting titles other consoles wouldn't bother publishing. I just finished Braid this weekend.
When I bought my PSP, I thought it was really cool I could hang out in front of a hotel and press a few buttons and have any one of a huge selection of playstation games at my fingertips for less than a meal at McDonald's.
When I bought my DS, I was impressed by the massive library of dependably solid titles, as well as backwards compatibility with the GBA.
So you're saying your PS3's power cable plugs right into it? That's great...
