Re: Yellow Dog Linux PS3 - Free Download
Thanks, but I'll have to wait for a torrent. At download speed of only 4.kB/s it will take over 10 days

Re: Yellow Dog Linux PS3 - Free Download
So how do you install it? Just go to the "Install other OS" in the menu? Or do you have to format the whole PS3 and only use linux? :P

You can pick up the dvd on ebay for 6 quid to save you the hassle of downloading. search for "ps3 linux".

Unless you are a bit of a computer whizz don't bother.
Setting it up and getting it going is easy enough but trying to download any software to get basic things such as Java to work is a total pain,you have to work in command prompts similar to using MS-DOS.
You need to have a keyboard and mouse to do the install (as well as to use Linux itself) the PS3 pad wont work with it.
