Yeah - I verified this today. There's no difference between the PS3 install (which is actually a combined "PowerPC+PS3" install) and the "normal" install.

I'm sure it'll be fine for most things... but I still can't see it replacing a dedicated box (even if the screen resolution was increased). As a server I think it would do well (under little load) - but definitely not as a development box (I think Eclipse alone would swamp that RAM). But as a media player/web browser/show-off-to-your-geek-friends box I think it'll work just fine... once I get a new TV. ;^) Even at this resolution I think it may do just fine as a media player - just not an HD one.
