    Hello, how do I install Ubuntu on PS3?

    hello, how can i install ubuntu in my PS3?

    i need these features so i will apreciate some help here:

    - wireless connection support (if cant atm there is no problem but if there is some user mods, for example, i want everything that i need to install it)

    - movies playing support (avi, xvid, mkv etc etc) with separeted subtitles (.srt subtitles) -> as im a bad linux user i dont know even to extract a .rar files or install anything in my linux pc so i will appreciate some links to download players, codecs and a quick full guide about the installation process.

    - support for crt tvs (low resolution) while playing a 720p movies for example (does the ubuntu resizes the movie to fit in my tv?)

    well im a really bad linux user (tried centos and red hat 5 without a good progress x,x) i would appreciate a good tutorial... im stucked in the version i need to download (32 or 64-bit, original or modified), and if i need some another tools and why because in my mind ps3 improved their support to linux distro and we dint need extra tools like this tutorial says http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...21.html?page=1

    thx

    See http://psubuntu.com/wiki/InstallationInstructions/.

    Last I tried it, the graphics drivers weren't good enough to watch movies, but this might've changed. Have at it.

    If you dig around somewhat on their website, you'll find the free version for download.
