i heard the the best one is yellow dog for PS3
also any advice before installing OS?
thanks

I've seen Fedora installed on PS3, it's looks pretty decent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZXcuhJkwx4
I was also considering doing this, I was thinking of use Fedora also.

i think fedora is the one i shouldnt go with
yellow dog was made for PS3, i think that is the one to chose but, i am not sure if it is easy to use, i always use ubuntu so it is simple, any info on how user friendly yellow dog is?

I don't know really anything about yellow dog. It isn't really about compatibility, I'm sure any OS you chose would work just fine. It's just whatever you want. If you like Ubuntu, use that. If you want to try something else, go for it. You're not confined to a single OS. If you don't like it, get a different one, it's that simple.

You can get Ubuntu on PS3 but it is still a work in progress:
PS Ubuntu

As I understood it Yellow Dog have a fully working distro for PS3. They used to rule the roost for Linux on Mac and had a good reputation. Since the switch to x86 for the Mac you see a lot less of them.

Just a n00bish question:
Why would you want to get Linux mounted on a PS3 ?

Well.. Fairly low cost for a media center PC with BlueRay drive support. Also an interesting architecture processor wise and it allows you to run your own software, possibly home brew games although I've not seen much on that and hell.. because its cool and Geeky.
