Wow Jan, thats a really cool thing, I think I will try that when I get my ps3. Also, I've been told that and ppc distro should work on the ps3, which leads me to believe that Slackintosh will work :) . I'll let everyone know how it works out when I finally purchase the ps3. Also I will try your qemu x86 binaries guide, which should work just fine. As for flash, you would probably have to run a x86 version of firefox to use flash.
