[Tfug] Playstation 3

[Robert Hunter]

Steve, yes.  When I did it, the install procedure involved installing
a bootloader through the game OS, and then booting from a fedora
install DVD.  Go to sony's website for the bootloader, and download a
fedora install disk (i think there is one exclusively for the PS3, but
if not, then it is probably the PPC one).  you need to setup a bunch
of add-on software, to take advantage of the the SPUs.  it's been
about a year since i screwed with this stuff, so caveat emptor.

I've had plans to build my own, but I don't have the time, and after talking to a friend that has one, I discovered it does most everything I want it to do.  What sold me is that Sony makes it relatively easy to install another OS on the thing.  Anyone done this?  I've found howtos for fedora, yellow dog and Gentoo.
