Unlike you, I read more than ZDNet...
From IBM's web site....

Unlike existing SMP systems or multicore implementations of other processors, on the Cell, only the general purpose PowerPC core is able to run a generic operating system, while the SPUs are specialized to run computational tasks. Porting Linux? to run on Cell's PowerPC core is a relatively easy task because of the similarities to existing platforms like IBM pSeries? or Apple Power Macintosh, but this does not give access to the enormous computing power of the SPUs.
