Sony allows people to install Linux on the PS3. They have an option that says "Install other OS". Sony even created a version of the Linux kernel specifically to work on the PS3. I have no clue where you get your information.
PS3™ | Install Other OS

A harddrive dumped with dd helps because i can scan that file for any kind of code that can be modified, if there is any unsigned code anywhere on the zune, its a possible hole.

I suppose you can try, but I doubt it would work, since the security on the Zune makes sure that any "risk" is stopped immediately.
All executable code on the Zune is signed, but all of the Zune's modules are in the ROM, so even if they were not signed, they can not be replaced.
Here is a bit of information about the Zune's hard drive dump:
