For me this is really interesting that there is now an English patch for official Sony's PSBBN! Sadly, I need to find a decent HDD/Network adapter to try it out, so I don't know much about it first hand. I am curious, anybody here tried it?

Well, I have the adapter, so I guess I have to. Someone making these decisions at Sony must have been really into Linux.

Here you can see all the features it had to offer: https://youtu.be/afetcJgUafg?t=835 For me it is very interesting that is looks like the step in between PS2 and PS3 era.

Yeah, I looked this up after the last post. Very cool stuff.

I guess the "OS", the dashboard UI, and all the channels and so on are separate apps that could be replaced or worked on separately, meaning there's some serious potential!
