Hi, Shaun. The distribution of Linux would not matter. All of the stuff kernel, libraries, etc is typically identical. The only question would be version matching. I would suspect Sony would be adding some specialised tools for the games, and and special libs that would be specific to their

Hi, Allan. Well, I also hope the trend continues. Linux has the potential to be used for awesome game stations, but by and large the game companies have stayed away from it until now. As I stated some of the Linux open source game libraries are very comprable to MS DirectX, and can be used for

Hi, Allan. Linux has always had a graphical Windows-like interface as well as a command line interface. The problem was until the past couple of years ago the Windows interface was not accessible to screen readers. Now, there are two screen readers gnopernicus and Orca which work in the GUI.
