So, I think the PS3 is not showing any content it thinks is copyrighted. Even if is is fully legal.
No, I don't think this is true. In my experience however, the PS3 is incredibly picky when it comes to codecs. It can only handle a very limited subset. It has caused me no end of headaches for my movie library (I have ripped my DVDs to avis for easier access)
I think it supports WMV, DivX, and possibly other video codecs, but the range is very limited. For my use I've set up mediatomb on my NAS and simply stream my media files (95% of which are either DivX or xvid which also seems to play on the PS3). This also works for my MP3 collection as well.
Thus my interest in openSUSE as an alternative.
I think it will be difficult. SUSE in general runs well, and for music you should be fine, but for movies, linux won't get full access to the graphics hardware, so there will be performance issues. I don't think you can comfortably watch movies there.
Would tend to agree with this. Having installed Linux on my PS3 I was, to say the least, underwhelmed. The PS3 doesn't have a massive amount of memory available, and has limited the accessibility to the hardware (graphics in particular). Would make for a nice server I guess.
