Cell supports Linux

Cell will according to Sony, Toshiba and IBM be God’s gift to the IT-market, or at least the consumer electronics market. Whether this is true or not remains to see as it still hasn’t been used with any products that has been launched yet, and the first seems to be PlayStation 3 which arrives sometime during the middle of 2006. It has no intentions though of hindering people who wants to use Cell and develop applications and system around this processor. IBM and Sony has now namely released developing tools and programming information for Linux for its dearly beloved Cell-processor.
