WII tools on PS3?

any one know much about linux on the PS3?

i was reading http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Devkitppc_setup_(Linux) and was wondering if it were possible to wright homebrew for the wii on a PS3 and if so is there any tutorials around showing how to do it?

You could do it, but I don't know why you would want to. You are going to have better performance building the binaries on a normal x86 desktop than in the PS3's Linux VM.

Even though PS3 Linux is PPC, you would still need to cross-compile for the Wii with the devkitppc toolchain. It isn't like you could use native compiled binaries on the PS3 as Wii programs just because they both use PPC.
