SONY PS3 running Linux kernel? It could really happen

This morning reading through some forums/blog (Italian&English), i came to know that sony‘s next generationĀ  Playstation (Ps3) could be running a linux kernel on his Cell processor

The processor. built in a joint venture between IBM, Toshiba and Sony. has been set upĀ  to be compatible with Unix and Mac Os X operative systems, and since the Spufs project (base platform support for Linux on the Cell) started few months ago, we should be on hour way to made a Linux kenrel portable/available for the mostest widespread game-console in the world (Yes, it is!! sorry Bill). From this article everything seems becoming true in few months.

I know that this could be a non-fresh news, because this information is running through forums and Psx/Gnulinux addicted’s blogs since months, but for me it was new, so i thought it could be nice to remind, that not defending Intellectual Property will seriously affect Scientific/Technological developments.
