Will the PS3 play divx files?

Cause that would make it the star of my entertainment system.

According to a list I found, it only supports:
VIDEO
?MPEG-1
?MPEG-2 (PS,TS)
?H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
?MPEG-4 SP

MUSIC
?ATRAC (.oma .msa .aa3)
?AAC (.3gp .mp4)
?MP3 (.mp3)
?WAV (.wav)

IMAGES
?JPEG
?GIF
?PNG
?TIFF
?BMP

I wouldn't be surprised if someone hacked some divx playback (or other formats) in the future. However, most likely Sony would have to purchase a license for Divx playback. (Not sure about licenses)

Isn't the PS3 really easy to install Linux on? Seems like that would be a better way to go anyway.
