linux is a computer operating system derived from unix. it can do a variety of things, just like windows. except it is open source, which means anyone can develop for the system or add on to the system, and many of the software for it are free. generally speaking, linux can do anything windows does, so installing linux on your ps3 enables you to turn your ps3 in to a full computer

hi,
just signed up to this forum! very impressed compared to my last one!!
anyways

yup... best or a good reliable version of linux is ubuntu!!! you can download it straigh off the site.

and here is a guide for those of you that wish to do so;

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343113

it's kind of long, you must be careful in typing as it can be frustrating!!
i use linux on my second pc!! its much more reliable then windows!! also if you get a chance, watch some of the videos on youtube!!

the 3D box should impress you!!!
