This looks amazing, definately a kit I am buying.
I'm studying a computer games tech degree up here in Scotland, and this will sit nicely along with my Net Yaroze modules etc. next year. I'll be doing my C++ and all that Jazz too, so as well as picking up on how to actually use Linuz properly, I'll be learning it on a console platform rather than the standard PC set-up. How far this system will actually allow the users to develop software and/or code is unknown as of yet, but I'm sure it wont be a bad thing for anyone interested in entering the industry to have some examples of independent work to add to a folio of pieces.

Due to the enlightening news from Sony. I want to learn Linux, I want to know what's available in the way of apps, where to go to begin learning etc etc. I'm a total novice and starting from scratch...
Roll on May!!... £150 for the kit beats £1000+ for a PC!:-)
