Yes. One of the PS3's best features imo.

What would Shakespeare say?

That's really odd, though. Ubuntu shouldn't lag. It doesn't lag on my 450MHz computer, and the PS3's just a BIT more powerful than that.

Yeah. VLC on Ubuntu is great. Also, Ubuntu recognized my 250GB NTFS external hard drive, so I don't have to worry about converting anything in PS3 format. VLC plays virtually everything.

Top 1 reason to run Linux on the PS3: Because you can



Now I can code for the PSP on the PS3.... so much for coolness


Besides that, it's just that I can do almost everything now on my PS3.
The webbrowser is better, more media formats supported.... aw, too many reasons to count

And yes, my PC-Laptod is sitting right beside it - also running a Linux side-by-side with Windows, same goes for desktop.
