Remember the psp and gamecubes homebrew scene,we are just at the start,soon tons of applications will be ported and many things will be done.
Once there is an easy way to do cross compiling and port applications to the ps3 gameos (and i mean a standar way to do it under linux),i will try to find a way to port aros to ppc.Why not?
I think that is the future,to those who say that ps3 is only a gaming machine it is not.Sony advertized it -and i am saying this again- many years ago as having an otheros thing.
And in the end let's face it,users are in control.Sony tried to remove otheros,but the geohot exploits and custom firmwares enable us to do what we want to do in a machine that we payed so much money.
The closed source thing does no good in our ages.Let's hope that soon linux will be back on the ps3 in the form of a homebrew application,(now the only way to boot linux is via a programable usb dongle that runs asbestos)
