linux kernel overkill?? (Score 1)

ok... I've been using linux for a while and I've also examined the os kernels for the sony/nintendo/playstation console and what's the big deal.. you have a kernel to load up the system, download the code for the game, initialize the game program, and you're playing your game you paid $30-$50 bucks for... who really gives about the kernel and if it's overkill or not.. the developers are wanting something STABLE and reliable to use... let alone it would be cool to find out if these things are networkable through a lan and who knows, if Quake is ported over mebbe turn a bunch of these into a cool cluster and run a kick ass quake server... hehhe.. that's my two cents for ya.. kat5 who needs a stinkin' phone line when I have a oc-3 pipe to play with...
