Does any one know which linux OS would be better to install on a PS3? Please explain why? I am wanting to use the PS3 as a Media Player from my media server. I would also hope I can get on the WEB with more flexablity. I can get there with PS3 now but I feel that it is limited on what can be done once there.

Thanks

Hi Cyborgoat,
I recommended ubuntu.
why? because you ask here if there is a problem :)
Ubuntu forums is very 'live' compare other linux distro forums.

So is there a particular Version that might work better or not at all on the PS3?:confused:
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with intend to upgrade here soon on my Main PC.

Thanks

Hi Cyborgoat.

9.04 has a PS3 disc.

I think that one automatically defaults to installing, so be aware of this.

Most of the other links are pretty outdated.
