If it was cracked after Linux was removed, then what was the reason for removing Linux? My recollection was that it was a security vulnerability.

- znpy 5y agoSome people started buying ps3 to build compute clusters. This was because the ps3 had a very strong processor made by ibm, using rhe powerpc isa. This meant that ibm started losing sales of their powerpc systems. So the story i know is that ibm "asked" sony to stop allowing linux on the ps3.
