As far as I have read so far, all it does is remove the other OS install option. WHich is pretty crap, coz the web browser on th ePS3 is a large turd, I would use it when I couldn't be nothered booting the computer, but it would cause my PS3 to crash more often than not.

To be honest though, I was suprised to see that the original PS3 had the other OS option in there in the first place. I am sure if you were using Linux, there would be a way around the logging in problem surely. I just find it a bit silly that Slim owners had to upadate too...

I've been playing Just Cause 2 on PS3 - highly recommended!

Apparently you couldn't even have the option to install linux on the slim anyway. They removed it due to it being very close to hacking into the core system, so they pre-empted it and got rid of it. Reports are that it was too slow running linux anyway, and you couldn't really do that much with it. Plus really, it would be only like 10 out of all the users that would be affacted anyway. Out of all the noise, noone used that option to seriously use it as a linux box.

And fairly simple to play too. Gotta get more than 20 minutes to play so that I can start career mode. Only way the Knights will make the 8 this year!

For Silver and Gold, I used Noctowl for Flash/Fly, Slowbro for Surf, whirlpool, stength and Waterfall (Surf really only used for transport) and Meganium for cut, rock smash and strength. Ferligatr has surf and waterfall for everyday non dungeon use.
I find with Johto that you can choose a TM slave to suit whatever dungeon you are entering, rather than the wonderful Bibarel in P/D/Plat.

Wait a second. You mean to say the only shiny Pokemon I've ever caught randomly, a freaking Bidoof, can actually be evolved into something useful!?

Other than the best HM slave in PKMN history....no, but he is the single best HM Slave.

Finally solved the 'my 40GB PS3 Phat sounds like a wailing banshee' problem!

I once again stripped the PS3 down to the mobo then applied Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU and GPU, this time using the 'line method' of application. End result? A near silent PS3! Last time I tried fixing this issue I put a paper thin coat of AS5 on the CPU and GPU but I later found out this method is useless as the chips don't make contact with the heatsink. Playing games/watching BD's now without the sound of a hairdryer in the background is pure bliss...Now to install a 500GB HDD and buy Play-TV!
