The PS3 has really not much memory, 256 MB RAM and I think 256 MB for graphics, but the dnet client doesn't need that much, only a few MBs...
Running Azureus for Bittorrent I can forget, because the supplied java version is not matching to the one Azureus would need, and on java.com you can't download a suitable version
So my Linux experience after that few trials is: very slow! for running just dnetc or other distributed computed clients it is ok, but if you want to do more: use a real machine with memory!

There are some that do that. It's a faulty temp sensor.
In fact, I have one that does the same thing, in an A/C controlled room kept at 78F.
I can tell you for certain, it is not as noisy as a single 10,000 rpm Intel Xeon heatsink.

funny thing is that my PS3 never did something like that... but the last few days it got hot like in summer and the temperature in my room raised over 25°C. today I went to the toilette and when I came back the fans of that PS3 yelled very loud, louder than usual.

never change a running system, but did you ever update your system-software of a PS3 in the game-OS? during re-install I updated it from 2.01 (or something like that) to 2.35. might that cause the loud fans?
BTW: a pic of the screwdriver and the HDD attachment

I updated them once, when I first bought them, since then, they have been running Linux.
I'll probably take one of the one's I shut down and flip it back to being a PS3 soon so I can play games and or watch movies and turned off when not being used.
