Question: The PS3 can be converted to a Linux box, or does it actually run on lInux? I know the competing format (HD-DVD) used to use Linux to run the first gen Toshiba players. I am also starting to explore BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java), which is the JavaME (J2ME) framework that is used to create interactivity in the blu-ray format. The opposing application format is iHD from Microsoft, which is used in HD-DVD players and discs. http://www.blueboard.com/bluray/ Unlike JavaME on mobile devices though, it's somewhat harder to create and test these apps, but I think it would be pretty cool to create apps that run on movies Back to top Roy Schestowitz Guest Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 7:18 am    Post subject: Re: Linux on Sony PS3 and Toshiba HD-DVD player __/ [ asjbiotek (AT) gmail (DOT) com ] on Sunday 04 March 2007 00:43 \__ Quote: I got a PS3 recently so I can watch hi-def blu-ray movies and have started to explore the system...

The Sony Playstation3 uses some firmware, but it enables you to create a separate partition(s), on which you can install Linux distributions. Some were prepared especially for the PS3, with ease of installation in mind.
