I never actually did it. I was just surprised that it was mentioned in the PS3 owners manual how to do it. They actually encourage it.

I read an article in Popular Mechanics describing how to load Linux and it mentions that it doesn't void the warranty.


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Oh, no, Sony's fully behind that. The main point in that bundle is supercomputing on the IBM/Sony/Toshiba(!) Cell chip.

Hey Cam, sorry if my note seemed like it was a jab at you. It wasn't at all, I'm just genuinely curious what one does once they have Linux on their PS3.

In a totally strange twist of fate, I had a guy at work today ask me if I knew how to install Linux on a PS3. Weird! (so, in that case, thanks for posting this very timely information) \:\)

By the way, I asked him why he was doing it... he said just to see if he could, so my theory remains. \:\)

Take it easy dude

Oh yes, if it helps him, here are two websites that explain how to load it.
