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...
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.
