Actually all the new gaming consoles are PCs....pretty much.

Although they doesn't fit the definition of a modern pc at all.

@Skiper: Why does the Gameboy suck? Sure, 33Mhz RISCs aren't high end, but it's enough for play tetris, and that's the only things that's important

PSP is NOT A COMPUTER!! It holds images, songs, files, and does web browsing..but IT IS NOT A COMPUTER!! Sorry, but for it to be a computer it has to have all the essential parts of a computer, which it doesn't. (e.g. Hard Drive, (atleast) SD Drive, Email, PC Games, etc.) You get the picture. Hard to choose altogether, but, the Xbox 360 is the best console on the list.

A PSP is per definition not a computer.

If you take the original wordsense a gameboy is also a computer.

It's just belonging to your point of view (really philosophic, ain't it? )

EDIT: Okay, both are per definition computers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer

So I have to say, a computer is a PC or another multipurpose device that can be freely programmed.

SD Drive? Email? PC Games? Huh?
My PC doesn't have an SD-Drive (you mean for SD-Cards, right?) anymore, I know more Cellphones that can use Email (SMTP/POP3) then Email-Client-Software, and my Linux doesn't have any PC Games at all (if a PC by definition uses an M$-OS).
A Computer is a electronic device that can calculate, which is virtually everything that has at least one microchip or other integrated circuits on it's platines. So a PSP is a Computer, even so the Gameboy, DS, Wonderswan, My old Casio Calculator (which even used to have some games "installed" ), a Laptop, Some Microwaves, Mobiles, some watches, the C64, etc.

PC=IBM Personal Computer, Running MS-DOS. Desktop Computers with Linux are are called Linux Workstations. Those are the original terms, but I have to agree with you that PC is mostly used for Desktop Computers in General. And because I am a neat person I will stick to it, too.
But even then my Linux isn't a PC. It's a Notebook.

to answer your Question: I'm using Fubuntu 6.06 LTS, and I *DO* know there a great games, and I have everything I want, but I still prefer to divide them from PC-Games, since most of them aren't build for Windows anymore (Pingus), never had a Windows Port at all (xbill, lincity) or where for other platforms (SNES, some of the SCUMM-Games).

bizzl: Fubuntu? Which one is that?

Yes, do you think I'm really that dumb? I hope not. I know ALL that stuff! Glad you know about the great games. BTW: I don't agree with your definition of PC, PC stand for Personal Computer. Which could be Linux Mac or Windows. And PC games aren't just games for windows! PC games are games that you can play on a PC!! Like Linux Mac or Windows games!

uhm, every Mac-User will kill your for that sentence. A Mac is a Mac, and not a PC, thought the later pre-Intel Macs had a processor called PowerPC. They also never call their notebooks noteboocks, but Mac- , Power- or iBook. Be aware of this seperatism! but forget it. I will stick to PC meaning Desktop Computer,okay?
But I still think that a PC isn't a console

Now to Fubuntu: This isn't a real distro at all. It's actually pretty much a kubuntu with a ubuntu (both dapper drake) mixed. but thats the problem. To get sound and everything on my notebook, I had to use a CD-R-Ubuntu from a friend, a DVD-Ubuntu by a german Ubuntu book, a DVD-Kubuntu form the same book, several packages form the Breezy and Dapper Repositories, some distro-independent executables, and several transformed RPMs.
I call it Fubuntu because it frickled together form several sources. If ya want to hear the whole story, write an email.

Oh, okay. I understand your ubuntu position now.

I know mac users would kill me, and they do. They hate me, but that's okay. Because I Hate Macs!! But it really doesn't matter. Anyhow, you're just going to stick with your definition, and I'm just going to stick with mine. So the argument has ended at an official "we agree to disagree" point. Thanks for talking!!
