The whole Linux-on-PS3 thing has gone a little quiet of late. Maybe everyone who could install it has done so already. Maybe there's nothing to actually do with it once it's on there. Who knows.

If you have a PS3 and wouldn't mind installing Linux on it, though, IBM have posted a series of articles detailing just how you get it done, and what you can do with it once it's on there. Yeah, it takes a whole series of articles, not just one. What, you thought it was going to be easy?

I'll warn you, this looks techy as all hell. My eyes could take about four minutes before my brain starting squealing like a pig and shut down. Luke Plunkett
