I just looked on Wikipedia and saw that Ubuntu 7 has been ported to work on the PS3. Friggen awesome. If only I had an external HDD to back my PS3 up...

I've got an 8 gig one, but I have like 20 gigs of video and 10 of music. And like 20 PSN games. It would take to long to download them all on a 2mb connection.
