An extremely interesting post was put up on the XBMC forums earlier this week. Two developers from XBMC have set out to port XBMC to linux!
Their plan is to port XBMC to run on 2 other hardware platforms. Some of the platforms mentioned include PS3, Apple TV, or a Mac Mini.
This is really exciting, and they've even got it working already in Ubuntu Feisty. (You can check out a copy of the code from the XBMC SVN)
http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbmc/branches/linuxport/
Also view the readme here
For more information or to add in your 2 cents about porting XBMC to linux / PS3 / whatever, check out this thread on the XBMC forums:

Sony has started testing internally and in European markets, but will soon be rolling it out worldwide. It's exciting to see how this works out for Sony, after all, they made Everquest...

- Toys R Us is having a big problem with PS3 preorders. Turns out they sent the stores the wrong units. So people who have preordered a PS3 with a larger hard drive might not get the right one. So much for their guarantee...
