Anyone brave enough to install Linux on a Playstation 3? Popular Mechanics has an article detailing the installation of Ubuntu Linux on a PS3 and making it a dual boot system; one for gaming with the PS3 game console and the other for computing using Ubuntu Linux. The article highly recommends backing up your data first, then swapping out the standard 40/80 GB hard drive with a high capacity 250GB drive. Interestingly enough, you can run Linux legally, but not Windows and OS X.PS3 can’t run Microsoft Windows or Apple’s OS X but it can run Linux operating systems. There are many Linux varieties, but our favorite is Ubuntu. And it turns out that the open-source community has created a program called kboot that helps load Ubuntu onto the PS3.
