Consoles for F@H?

[Morrowgamer]

I have three Playstation 3s, a couple Playstation 2s, an original Xbox, and two Xbox 360s.
They're all operational, and just collecting dust.

Anyone know if there is a way to boot Linux or something onto the consoles and then use them for F@H? I think that would be a good use for them until they kick the bucket.

The Playstation 2 officially supports Linux,Sony released a Linux kit for it back in the day,

As for the Playstaion 3 it used to support Linux until Sony got sued for it and then removed that functionality,the functionality can be restored by installing a custom firmware (called CFW on the PS3 scene).

There even was an official F@H App for the PS3! But that's long shut down

Those consoles wont do much PPD also. Idd go as far and say: Not worth the effort of hacking everything. I also think that there wont be any more Projects to be able to run on Cell  etc

Too bad, but kinda what I thought the answer would be.
