Hey, I'm the guy behind the video. And in response, Yeah, Sony actually designed it to run another OS. They had planned to have Linux pre-installed on systems, but then stated that the version of Linux they were going to use wasn't ready in time. That version is actually Yellow Dog linux, which I have to say, looks remarkable. It is going to be released on a paid basis in a couple of weeks, but around Christmas they said it would final be open for free download. I can't wait for that. And I know how backwards Sony's stance on this seems compared to their efforts to stomp out any and all homebrew on the PSP, but I remember that the reason they marketed the short-lived Linux For Playstation kit for the PS2 was to try to finagle out of some European Tax restrictions on video game consoles, by trying to get it reclassifies as a "computer". They lost that case and ended up paying the video game tax, but if they end up pre-installing Yellow Dog Linux on all systems by the time it releases in Europe, then they just might have a case...
