Now this should probably go over to the developer list (there is one, right?), but I'll post it here since I'm sure others are interested.

I know that for a distro to boot on a PS3, something has to be modified.

From what I recall, it's quite minor. Sony actually supplies the

instructions on how to do it, so any PPC Linux distro can be installed and run on a PS3. I think they give an example using Fedora Core 5. Here's the developer site with the documentation:
