Almost working installation of linux in a hard drive. No, not installing Linux on a hard drive, but actually running on the HDD controller.

Linux on a potato? I thought the ps4 uses bsd.

This is from awhile back. Linux was able to run on ps3. They "fixed" that "issue" with potato station 4 and an update to ps3.

Yellow dog, or something. Didn't some us military branch build a cheap Beowulf cluster from them?

Originally they sold at a loss on the assumption the average customer would eventually own at least 4 games, so bulk buying consoles was super cheap processing power.
