but that's only when both machines are running RHL. that's not a good
basis for comparison since PS3 graphics support is indeed not complete
for linux as you say below. for "home entertainment" as he was asking,
plus a bit of linux to boot, it can't be beat. that's why I said "dual
boot", where the idea is to have it in ps3 mode most of the time ;-)
