I wanna Run Fedora Core and Where can I get it

If you are asking simple questions like that, then I wouldn't recommend you try and even attempt to install Linux on the PS3, you'll struggle.. P.S. There is an invention called google...Try it!hypnotoad8128

1. No you cant run Pc Games they are not designed to run on PS3 even with linux installed the hardware is different and even with linux you dont have acess to RSX so software has no way to use it.. there have been tests with Quake you can see vids on youtube.. it loaded in a very small window but the frame rate was below 10fps so it will be some time before you going to have PC games running at full speed if at all.

2. Yes you can still play PS3 games the PS3 OS is not removed you can choose which you want to use at boot up like any duel boot system, just boot into the PS3 OS and you can play your PS3 games.  

3. the benifits of Linux depends on what you want to do with it, some get it for emulation etc someone got a snes emulator working with it also you can stream audio and video from the PC to your PS3 and use more video and Audio formats than what the PS3 can do on it's own, word processing etc and there is bound to be much more as time goes on.. the only thig is Linux is not a easy thing to grasp it takes time to learn the commands etc so as long as your prepared for that.

Well if your asking if Linux can run windows games, i wouldnt say your a pro at computers as Linux is like the Anti-windows. To acess the PS3 OS when you get to the kboot type in "boot-game-os" and that brings it to the PS3 interface. Honestly, I wouldn't reccommend Fedora core as it hasnt been implemented to the PS3 all that well yet, YDL is the easiest, most user friendly Linux out for the PS3 right now.

Also I wish I had the skill to get that Snes emulator working, I cant get it running. I'm trying to manuelly move the files around, but it wont read my roms, like i have the actual emulator up but i need to extract the rom files to a specific folder and forgot where it is :S. So when i get time to use my bro's HDTV again, i'll log in to root and try to mess around with it there. I got VLC media player working so im happy :).
