Installing OS on PS3??

Is Linux the only OS you can install on PS3? if so can somebody talk me through everything i need to get it working. if any of you have done it and got it working please tell me if it is worth it.

Thanks

I keep trying to install linux and follow some instructions I got off the internet but I cant

u can do windows but its tricky04JETTA

In order to do so, you need to have Linux running first, then with a bit of shoehorning and other tricky stuff you can emulate windows on your Linux OS. As you can imagine Windows in emulated state is only good for watching your mouse move at Matrix slo-mo speeds. 

so can somebody talk me through Linux then.corbula

just google it and i'm sure you'll find a step by step guide 

there is a backup utility in the settings menu, you'll need a storage device of some kind.  You are also able to just copy them.  Select one and press triangle.  Then select copy and copy it to a storage device like an external hard drive.

First off, you need a wired connection to run Linux. A keyboard and mouse is also needed.  You cannot use the sixaxis.  But you can use it just like a regular computer running Linux.  Any program you want to run on a Linus OS pc you can run on Yellow Dog with the PS3.  

that is a very good question. 

I dont have Linux installed on mine, but it sure would be neat to try.

Is it possible to play PC games on an OS on PS3corbula

That would own! But I don't know.

Is MAC OSX or any OS of Mac installable on the PS3?G-Legend

No. 

you know you need a USB keyboard and mouse. can you just use a USB mouse and use an on screen keybroad? like you can in XP or does Linux not have one?
