ok so i was jw where is the best site to download linux from? its free isnt it? do you have to do anything special when you download stuff to you ps3 and is it easy to install on the ps3. jw because i was thinking about putting this on my ps3. please help
Fedora Core 5 and Yellow Dog 4 are both very easy to install and very similar. IMO go with Yellow dog unless you have a standard tv, in which case FC5 is better. For video play back i recommend vlc, but remember to get the ppc (power pc) version, and it takes a while to track down all the dependencies BUT it is totally worth it because vlc can play just about anything.Â
Get yellow dog linux from there web site : http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/ydl/ (you can also find a very good install guide pdf here).
Its linux and therefore its free, as is all the software. I managed to get linux up and running and had never used or seen it before in my life- so it cant be that hard because im rather a block head when it comes to these things. The good news is there is no way you can break your ps3 doing it. If the install goes pear shaped just hold down the power button for 6 seconds and the xmb reloads.
