Anyone know if it is possible to put a flavor of Linux on a PS3 or an xBox 360? Would you still be able to play games OR better yet, could you dual boot into the Linux side and then when you need to play boot into the default OS?

So it is an open-source project to try to enable Linux to be put onto Xbox 360. That would be cool to see.

What about GRUB? When you install Linux on it, won't it install GRUB? And I think maybe you can dual boot from GRUB??
