Cell CPU as the next thing?

[Linde]

I don't get the point of using an obscure, weird architecture processor if it's still utterly incompatible with existing Amiga software. If starting from square 1, why not something like ARM that's neat, clean and fast? Or just whatever processor that could emulate 68020 really fast.

Blah Blah Blah. Playstation 3 with suitable Linux is great and cheap LinuxBox - great OS.

If I didn't mind the idea of being stuck with 256 M RAM, I'd go ahead and agree with you.

bUt I dO!!!!!!

Its more VRAM and then RAM, but its designers choice.

With some virtual RAM just as backup, well optimized Linux can do a lot in 256MB fast RAM.

I'm not arguing the choice, I'm just saying that for general desktop use, nothing with 256m RAM will be a great Linux box. I was stuck using a 256M RAM laptop for a while, and just thinking about for example multi-tabbed browsing made my head hurt.
