Yellow Dog Linux PS3 - Free Download

ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/yellowd...061208-PS3.iso


This is the fixed version with the yum update config issues sorted.


Don't have a torrent for it at the moment.

Thanks, but I'll have to wait for a torrent. At download speed of only 4.kB/s it will take over 10 days

lots of mirrors here http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/re..._mirrors.shtml i downloaded it last week at 600KB/sec from the germany mirror

Got this other day but waiting to install.

Is there any video codecs around for this ? xvid h.264 and quicktime ?

So how do you install it? Just go to the "Install other OS" in the menu? Or do you have to format the whole PS3 and only use linux? :P

You can pick up the dvd on ebay for 6 quid to save you the hassle of downloading. search for "ps3 linux".

You can download it for free. Not just torrent its a freenly available download, just buried on their website,

Unless you are a bit of a computer whizz don't bother.
Setting it up and getting it going is easy enough but trying to download any software to get basic things such as Java to work is a total pain,you have to work in command prompts similar to using MS-DOS.
You need to have a keyboard and mouse to do the install (as well as to use Linux itself) the PS3 pad wont work with it.
