PS3 Slim won’t support Linux.
Thursday, August 20, 2009
Sony’s soon to be released PS3 Slim will be losing it’s older brothers ability for users to install their own custom operating system.
This is a pity as installing Linux on the PS3 can really expand it’s functionality as a living room computer/media centre. I’m also rather disappointed in that one of the things I’ve always applauded Sony for with the PS3 was this forward thinking option.
No doubt there will be ways found around it but even so its sad news for what otherwise looks to be a good machine.

the omission sucks, i think it's a step backwards tbh. they made an ugly machine even more drab lol.
It does look less shiny that's for sure
Still at least it won't show the dust as much as my current dust magnet 
yeah same lol but the boys keep dragging it downstairs to play pes so it gets some cleaning lovin.
