    I’m a Mac user and haven’t run into any restrictions as of yet, I am just curious what you’re referring to there.

    Thanks Chris, I tested OpenSuSE on PS3, it was about the same result, slow and not very useful.
    But I have heard that Yellow Dog can open the blue ray, so you can stream br movies to your network and rip them :-)
    Normally I can’t stand lock in, DRM and other restrictions of the owner so I never use windows or mac, but in the PS3 I can accept it since it’s just a toy, nothing that I’m depended on for my daily life. So the question is, do we need linux on a full DRM platform? I think not.

    Check the FAQ of the Distro you installed. if it is PSUbuntu they have a guide on their website for the commands.

    yeah i thought it was windows too, i hope they manage to make the ps3 able to run on windows so that people could have a great pc for a lot cheaper than regular versions

    You know you can get one of these for free? You’ll need to sign up for a free trial (I suggest netflix) and then get some other people to do it too, I’ve already gotten an xbox 360 from one of these before. Here’s my referral link (remove the spaces!!) ht tp:/ /ps3s. free pay . co m/? r=46451439

    yeah np. but this guy does not know what he is talking about. as of 2007 there is a completely free version of yellow dog that does not run through emulation. the only thing about it, at least that last time I checked, is that you are completely locked from the GPU so you are restricted from 3d gaming. developers are working to unlock it though. so yeah the yellow dog linux is actually what this guy was looking for!!!
