This news makes Sony's announcement of Linux support via the console 100% official and means that users will essentially be able to turn their gaming system into a fully-functioning computer, replete with whatever applications they feel like installing, be it for entertainment or business.

Uhh I don't think you guys know what this stuff is anyways, so I'll tell you:

kernel 2.6.16
gcc 3.4.4 and glibc 2.4
Cell SDK 1.1
OpenOffice.org 2.0.2
FireFox 1.5.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.0
Nautilus 2.1.4

Kernel - basically the version of Linux.
gcc and glibc are necessary for compiling programs
I think the Cell SDK is for processor related things, not sure. Never heard of it.
OpenOffice.org - no, it is not a website, but a free office suite (Like Microsoft Word)
Firefox and Thunderbird - Web Browser and Email client, respectively
Nautilus - file browser

Edit: If you're wondering what gcc and glibc stand for... gcc = gnu c compiler (c is a programming language). glibc = gnu c library

Correct smile.gif It's the cell (PS3's processor) broadband engine's system simulator.
