Yellow Dog Linux Free Version
While you might be wondering that Fedora Core is much more popular, I'd
advise you to go with Yellow Dog Linux because it is based on Fedora Core
itself. Secondly, and much more importantly, it is very much optimized for
the PS3, since it's specially made for it.
So now that you know about it, how would you go about installing it on your
PS3? If you're new, you can just skip over to the download and further
instructions section. For all the newbie's who've just learned of this, I'll give you some info which will
lay down the basics for you.
To install a second operating system on your PS3, you will need the following:
● A PLAYSTATION 3 with a Hard Disk (20GB is fine).
● USB Keyboard, USB Mouse.
● A USB Storage Device.
● An ISO of the desired Linux distro.
● Sony PS3 Other OS Installer.
● OtherOS.bld file for the respective distro.
● Blank optical media + burner.
● Other things which will be specific to every distro.
Once you have these things ready, the next step is to format your PS3's internal hard disk and install
Sony's OtherOS bootloader.
Now for the download links to the required stuff:
● Sony PS3 Other OS Installer
● otheros.bld for Yellow Dog Linux
● Yellow Dog Linux 5 ISO image ( here / here ) (3.3GB ISO!)
● Install guide for Yellow Dog Linux
Now that you have the required stuff, the first thing you should do is go through the install guide a
couple of times.
