What price can you put on a user community?

| One advantage of the Cell was its ability to 
| run Linux without dramatic changes to the 
| code base: the standard Linux kernel now 
| supports the Cell as one it its 
| architectures.
|
| The Cell’s ability to run Linux combined 
| with Sony providing the “Install Other OS” 
| feature with its PS3 software gave birth to 
| a niche community of PS3 users – the Linux 
| user community.
|
| I remember at the last Linux.conf.au to be 
| held in Sydney (January 2007), a few IBMers 
| proudly had a PS3 running Linux on display.
|
| Unlike the Xbox and Wii, the PS3 and its 
| Linux option was seen as “geeky” and “more 
| than just a game console”. And it wasn’t 
| long before mainstream Linux distributors 
| (Fedora comes to mind) started providing 
| full Linux-based OS options for the PC – 
| graphical interface and full-on “desktop” 
| apps.

Still no Mac, Linux support for ATO's e-tax

,----[ Quote ]
| The 2010 version of the Australian Taxation 
| Office's (ATO) online tax return software 
| will  support Windows 7, but not Mac or 
| Linux operating systems.
|
| Since the e-tax software was introduced in 
| 1999, it has been compatible only with 
| Microsoft's operating systems.

Should businesses support Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Clearly, Linux should be considered for businesses right alongside of Windows
| and, yes, Mac OS X. Choices are a good thing in business.
