Once it does, you can access the Internet, connect a USB keyboard and mouse, and run Linux programs on your HDTV.
(Microsoft has locked down the Xbox 360 such that we have never seen anyone successfully load any Linux distro on that console.)Īnother “gotcha” to think about is that you may have to try loading Linux a few times before it “takes” and the PS3 boots successfully. There’s a short-cut where you can just use Yellow Dog Linux (YDL), a distro made specifically for the Sony next-gen console.įor the most part, Sony guides you through the install and even includes menu options in the XMB (the user interface for the PS3) for formatting your drive and running into the bootloader for Linux.
We say “relatively” easy because the one hang-up when installing Linux on a PS3 is that you absolutely need the exact right version or you will get easily frustrated.
