Ps3?
Play Station?

RootbeaR.

It's true. I read it in an article in this month's Linux Journal. I'd post a link to the LJ.com version, but I can't figure out how to subscribe for the online/interactive (free) subscription (I am not subscribed to the printed version..just picked up a copy at the beginning of this month).

I did, however, find a link to a PS3 blog which has instructions for installing Yellow Dog Linux (the only officially supported, as far as I know, PS3 Linux Distro):

bob121, hopefully this will be of some help.

Take care.
