If you install linux then you wont be able to play games.... pointless,.

I don't think that's entirely true.

However, I would wait until a stable version of linux is available, get yourself a copy of vlc player (that works) and then stream the footy.

I'm very sure you can play games with a dual boot of the ps3 xmb and linux.
