PS3 and Linux help!

alright MY sugestion in this matter, being that i'm probably the only one here who runs linux in a pc, is that you use ubuntu. Ubuntu is the most popular/user friendly linux version available, and they have a ps3 specific build. There are instructions and walkthroughs if you search for them, and they are pretty easy. Just keep in mind it takes some time, because you have to format the hard drive and all. Also if you want to use linux, i suggest you try to install in with an HDTV, particularly because if you try to make it work in a regular TV it will be painful and you'll get pwned. (ANY PS3 LINUX BUILD USES THE HDMI PORT BY DEFAULT, IF YOU WANT TO USE THE A/V CABLE YOU HAVE TO MODIFY IT IN COMMAND PROMPT SCREEN)

I would suggest you install ubuntu 7.10 in your pc and use it for a while, that way you'll know what you'll get for the ps3, and get a fresh view into the wonders of open source code that is linux, which is absolutely free of M$ robbery.
