Yes, I know this has been answered before, but I want to know if anyone here has actually succeeded in doing this.

If you have done it, what Linux-compatible camera do you recommend? Will my Logitech do?

This is the last think I need to know before taking the plunge of buying a PS3.

I was hoping to have good news. But, as they say in the big leagues "No love, no love"

"You can only run Skype on X86 machines. There are no linux binaries for the Cell (which is what the PS3 has) or for the PowerPC (what the Cell is based on)."

However, as a dreamer, I like to think to myself "Maybe, just maybe, Skype will move to PS3 native, as it did on the PSP"
