The advantage of installing a Linux OS on a PS3

What is the advantage of installing a Linux OS on a PS3?

Linux is the collaborative effort of programmers from around the world working in their free time. There are many many versions of Linux.

Linux eats up fewer resources.

It is open source (meaning you can see the code that makes it up) so if you are a programmer, you can do some hacking.

Its more stable.


Downside---It's harder to use, harder to install programs if you need to. Ubuntu is the most user friendly version (distro) as of now, so I'd go with that to start with.
