Linux on the PS3

Anyone here have it? Is it worth it? Do you have to have a keyboard? Really the only reason I'm interested is that I read you could play an NES emulator on it.

Now here I was on the main page thinking "here's a topic I haven't seen bumped in a while"
But it's a new one.

I know Yellowdog linux was the original for PS3, and they got Ubuntu running at some stage. Might as well look at wikipedia, cause it'll tell you what's up with linux on the ps3

Playing an NES emulator with a joystick and diagonal buttons seems kinda weird

Meanwhile on the Wii you don`t need to install any weird operating system to play emulators of any system that ever existed, all you have to do is a simple little hack that lets you have the homebrew channel. And then the Wii remote acts just like an NES controller. I`m just saying.
