  • the wii uses modified fedora linux the ps3 uses linux as well but I dont know what one sony used

  • how do you play nomal games?

  • lol

  • @ChaosPunksXe

    calling people names mean you dont have no idea. you just need to make you self feel better

    $30,000 for 50 ps3 back then, $30,000 server will kill them.

    my pc has faster and as much ram as 50 ps3's(12GB)

    if you have nothing but a processor you have nothing, around 400 cores working on 12GB your sure not going to use anywhere near all your cores there just gonna run idle on most of them.

  • @SuperDeluxe80 In order to understand why 50 PS3s provide much more computing power than a 30K server, you need to understand what Floating point is . Super Computer's speeds are measured in FLOPS ( Floating point operations per second) Project Condor, executed by Mark, at the air force base in Rome , NY is used primarily for live satellite imagery ( 150 Megapixel images ). What they accomplish with the PS3s would only be possible with a multi million dollar Cray .

  • @tabamoura

    believe all the lies dont you. when you under stand how cpu's work then argue. there giving you peak floating points on paper not real world numbers.

  • @SuperDeluxe80 You saying that I " believe all the lies" is not really an argument on your part. Care to prove your point rather than insult me?. What is the difference between a peak Floating point on paper and one on the " real world" so I can benefit from your wisdom.

  • @tabamoura

    it is a lie sony is paying them for the publicity plain and simple. like something that was released in 2006 is still cutting edge. delusions all it is.

  • @SuperDeluxe80 LOL. Right! Right! I bet you see black helicopters around your house at night . They wait until you are asleep to steal some pubic hair for Secret experiments.... 

  • @ChaosPunksXe

    at the time they were $600 dollars a piece no way was that cheaper than a real computer you talking $30,000 there and you can buy a monster server with that. a computer with out ram is useless even just crucnhing numbers. they broke sonys TOS doing it too if you or me did that thet'll sue us.

  • @ChaosPunksXe

    you cant make a super computer with 50 ps3 either. 1 server will run circles around all 50 and for the same price.

    this is fail the ps3 50x$300=$15,000 50x256mb ram=12,800(12GB)

    people will say anything to get that sony funding for there research.

  • @ChaosPunksXe

    1 intel or amd will throw that idea in the trash thats why it takes "multiple" ps3's. i can do multiple NES's and make a super computer if i have enough of them. see that logic?

  • is it not posible to have windows 7 on you ps3 if you first install linux and then install windows 7 on virtualbox in linux.

  • GUYZ THE HACKERS FROM PS3 WHEN THEY AHCKED IT THEY JSUT BRANG BACK LINUX THUMBS ME UP SO EVERYONE KNOWSS

  • why would you want to have a Unix on a Play Console? when computers now a days are so cheap or free?

  • Did you know the ps3 is outdated technology that my pc blows away without even trying to?

  • @JayFeliceW Did u know that ur mom blows my penis everyday?

  • Presenting the Green Hat database to end all databases...

    sword of samuel dot com

  • Хуита

  • The PS3 should be faster @ running a operating system, it has much more power right? I mean, a regular pc isn't that powerful :) Please someone reply xD

  • @MW2PS3Blog a ps3 only has 512mb of ram so it eould be VERRRRYYY slow after a while. my pc is pretty standard and it has 2.5gb of ram. so no a pc would NOT be good to run windows on because it downt have that much power

  • @MW2PS3Blog nah the old ps3 can only utilise one core for running 32 bit operating systems so when you install linux it renders the other 7 cores useless, and with its limited ram the best you could hope for on a linux based ps3 is open office and some web browsing. the option is removed now in slims pretty sure it was removed in an update to the old ps3s aswell

  • what is the point of this when u can use a REAL computer that is faster.

    PS3s are used for gaming not installing bullcrap into it's hard drive

  • @Agurules1 I think the purpose of this, is to be able to run emulators on it, if this is true, that means you can play all xbox 360 games, ps3 games, and all previous consoles, but i am not sure. With 512mb of ram, i think you can only run it from the command line as to not use so much memory...but like i said i am not sure, this is what i want to find out

  • @asmcriminaL a high end pc struggles with some emulators the emulator scene is only at the wii at the moment and some of the games are slow even on a beefy system, so the ps3 with one cpu core (all thats utilised with linux on ps3) and 512 ram ( sure its only 256mb in a ps3) has no chance of running anything other than some snes or gba emulators , web browsing and word proccessing

  • @AphamX and @itsmyisliand you guys are both dumb fuck faces, and itsmyisliand, fuck off, your a fucking faggot, your sitting behind a tiny computer screen telling people to "go outside every once in a while" i find it quite funny, because by saying that, everything you said applies to you, including the "acting all cool part too"

  • @SySTeM4T1c correction, itsmyisliand is a dumbass, your not apham

  • too bad than new linux doesnt allow this on the ps3....due to "security reasons"

  • and to the douche who thinks im a microsoft fanboy or something, im a normal guy, i dont know that much about computers, your some ass on the internet trying to act all cool about what os you use? lame as hell, get outside every once and a while

  • okay sorry if i didnt explain myself right, they banned it because you could run programs that could either trace other peoples ip addresses or you could run programs so that youd make everyone lag out of the current match. stop bein such a douche about things

  • @itsmyisliand wrong, linux was an exploit for the ps3 so they removed it

  • @AphamX thanks for not explaining it like a douche, thats just what i heard from kids online

  • @itsmyisliand Im 13 ftw :3

  • @AphamX dude where do you get the time to learn about all this stuff?

  • @itsmyisliand it was on the news.... cause geo hot exploted the ps3 with linux

  • This would be great to install on my ps3 now but Sony released a system update that removes that feature. I think that's bull s***! Cmon Sony! What is ur problem?

  • @greendragon67 linux or any operating system was banned because what happened was people would either lag up games to the point where youd lose connection to the internet, or they would be able to hack your account very easily, so they banned it for a good cause :)

  • Comment removed

  • Why not Windows?? Why would people rather choose Fedora?

  • @Rodolfsk8 apparently because it is waaaay better :D

  • @Rodolfsk8 your stupid.

  • @Rodolfsk8

    Because, Linux is free, easy, and doesn't require as much system resources.

  • @Rodolfsk8 wow really why asking that question.ummm becuz WIndows is From Microsoft and who made PS3?

  • @KILLA12PSN sony dumbass..

  • @DoctorController i know shithead i was telling Rodolfsk8 not u

  • @Rodolfsk8 cuz if they used Windows they would get a shit load of viruses that can harm you're PS3... and i dont think microsoft likes sony :P

  • @gazzxr there is no such thin as a OS that is 100% resistant to viruses, MAC OSX, Windows, Linux, even the PS3 and Xbox OS is vulnerable to viruses,

  • I just realised how much my xbox sucks

  • @JonyKickaHoleInDaSky lol 360?

  • Why the hell did Sony take way this option? WHY?! I could've been awesome, but I didn't ever get round to trying it. It pisses me off.

  • @ChurKirby umm becuz some one hacked it by using the Other OS

  • @KILLA12PSN If you are talking about why they got rid of it that's not true, although someone might have, its not the reason. It's because sony loses money on selling ps3s, they make the money on games, something which people don't buy if for example they are just folding or running other calculations.

  • @KILLA12PSN Bill Gates is a hacker. Did Sony ban Microsoft OS from their game consoles? No. Why not? Follow the money.

  • how do u change it back to normal is it hard or the same as turning on linux

  • WTF is Linux? Please reply. and just to make this comment stand out #LOL XBOX #FTW

  • the desktop looks reduced, did you set the resolution to 480p?

  • Isn't This PSP ?

    or PS3 has the same menu as PSP ?

  • loool

  • @SAFAD0Line it has th sam

  • kijk

  • marvin dis kk waardeloos

  • Why to use Linux on PS3 anyway? What's the Advantage?

  • @Jasepo why use Linux in the forst place....???

  • @Jakeybabe100 Ehmm I dont understand your question, you're supposed to answer mine

  • @Jakeybabe100 u should b able 2 put a ps3 emulator on it and play game u downloaded on it

  • @Jakeybabe100 did you know the us air force uses the PS3 for calculations, they have linux on it. The ps3 is not just a console

  • @LordDonib did you know that us air force uses kinect to train their pilots? they have also exclusive downloadable content from xbox live to fix the lack of compatability with the f22 Raptors....

    damn you stupid people....stop believing everything.

  • hah yeah because kinect is sooo acurate, they'd rather use move.

    No but seriously google it, USAF used ps3 with linux as computer, now i am not saying they used ps3 for all of their calculations, but they did use it. Because USAF was angry at sony for removing the other-os support.

  • @LordDonib They used several hundred PS3s stringed together..

    A lone PS3 by today's standards is outdated tech.

  • @LordDonib the government also set up like 50 something ps3's for brute force password cracking and other things

  • @MattCat8

    key word is 50 not one. 50x$300=$15,000 for that you can make 1 server that would run circles around the 50 ps3's.

  • @LordDonib the PS3 has a great GPU and a decent processor, but it doesn't have much RAM, which is why they use it for processing farms rather than using it instead of a desktop or whatever.

  • @Jasepo YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!

  • Sony have disabled this feature now - why? It did no harm!

  • @GuruTrout Playing downloaded games?

    I think linux could be used for playing downloaded ps3 games that a computer atleast for now aren't able to play.

  • @GuruTrout

    Too expensive to maintain, but they lied about it, and made up some stupid "pirates" excuse.

  • Fucking idiots with authority... Fuck you Ebay!!!!

  • could you still paly games if u have linux?

  • @gerald2978 Yes you can still play all ps3 games regardless of having other operating systems installed.. I have Red Hat linux on a 40gb ps3, still haven't updated from 3.15 firmware (and wont). All games work just fine.

  • You are history on new firmware

  • Check out the new Life Changing Linux OS(Abstract OS) on My Profile Page

  • Is there a risk of getting banned because of fedora core? anybody knows? plz help i dont know anything about fedora core, can somebody tell me what that is.

  • @mistersomething

    Fedora 5 is one of Linux open source products like YDL and Ubuntu. Think of Windows live7 but free and with no virus from man. ALoL

  • So u can run applications like halo pc game?

  • Neat :D

  • Why would you want to install linux on anything never mind ps3

  • @DannysWorldTV

    linux is a very stable system, its the only thing i trust, i always keep a dual boot with some kind of unix base os on it.

  • WTF is LINUX?!?!?!?

  • @metalgear492

    google it man, its a door to understanding alot more about a computer, mac is based on linux, well its a unix base and soo is linux,

  • dump sony bring back other os please u sould make a update to fix yellow of death that be way cooler

  • wats the sign between "START" after u typed root!!

  • Apparently Sony announced that they're gonaa be releasing a PS3 update that removes its Linux compatability, but it looks like it's an April Fools joke. (Mostly because the update is dated April 1, 2010.)

  • @POKEMONMASTER260 they did remove it on the PS3 Slims

  • @HunterDVincent you can still do it on the original models? bc thats what i have and im wanting to do this

  • @POKEMONMASTER260 ummm dude they did remove it actually mine doesnt have it...

  • yeh i heard that linux runs really badly on the ps3 due to sony locking out most of the cores.

  • that sucks about ebay! and they are owned by google (i think) who make some open source software

  • Google owns ebay?

  • @renkinjutsu01 err, no, my mistake

  • I don' t know but Red Hat is Open Source and nothing really free software in what they do.

    So maybe sony is right about fedora as far it's not that free as Ubuntu, Debian and such.

    On the other hand I haven' t read the license of fedora and was quite disapotint so im back with Ubuntu.

  • @itubenowplease yea, linux's are more for emulation, not games like runescape, habbo, WOW, etc.

  • I just installed linux on ps3 but i have no task bar or anything to get into options. Do you have to set it up or something?

  • The only problem is why you would want Fedora of all distributions on your PS3? If I wanted shit on my PS3, I'd just take it to the bathroom with me.

  • nice share :) great tutorial i had gave yu a video response check it out :) thats some great stuff 2. i just love ps3 magic :) it helped me install linux in a couple of minutes, you can find it at ps3magic (dot)org

  • süper bende kurdum

  • whats the point?

  • @Bigfeet1317

    get more use out of the ps3 lol

    blue ray player

    game system

    media center

    and now linux, a extra computer

  • looks like an ultra light ubuntu

  • woow

  • lets say i get this on my ps3 can i download pc games on the ps3???

  • @TheGamersEye u online yo?

  • yes, but its not gonna play extremely well. and im assuming you arent talking about windows when you say pc.

  • its not hacking or cracking sony made it so you can do that STUPID PEOPLE

  • whats the point of installing linux on the ps3?

  • @mana2432 what if you dont have a computer well there you go

  • @ookiss00 its fairly unlikely youd be able to download linux if you dont have a computer.

  • @ookiss00 dude every one has to have a computer

  • @KILLA12PSN no they dont i know people without a computer

  • @ookiss00 wow that weird so parents would buy a PS3 instead of fast computer cuz PS3 is Very Slow besides you would have to have a keyboard and mouse

  • @KILLA12PSN Of all God given wonderfull videos to troll on! Why choose this one? The Astonishing world of trolling is seeming to fall to bits what a shame.

  • @KILLA12PSN you can use a keyboard and mouse.here is an example

  • you can play nes,snes,gbadvance using emulators and maybe mugen.

  • I know that... i just wanted to know if there is anything new or crazy that you can do with linux on the ps3... like play compatible pc games or even mmos

  • why you would play those when you got a ps3 right there i dont know

  • You can install lotsssss of cool programs on the ps3 and watch it on the big screen

  • @mana2432  it turns it into more than just a gaming platform.

  • @mana2432 to just play around with it and say to your friends: "i've hacked a linux to work on my ps3", (even it's not hacking) -.-

  • @fac3fin hahaha ok

  • @mana2432 back up pc you can download videos then just watch it on your tv

  • @mana2432 mmmmmm what u do with the 80gb of the playstation? u have to waste it on something right

  • @mana2432 Because penguins are fucking rad.

  • @mana2432

    that's like asking:

    "what's the point of a computer?"

    for one thing you could probably rip your blue rays... [ not that you would cause that's not legal ]

    plus it's insanely fun. [if you enjoy using your brain and that sort of thing]

  • @mana2432 more features, more secure operating system, freedom to install and run any software you need or like to be able doing more with your console.

  • @mana2432 you can play emulator, like xbox games, snes, gameboy games, ps1 games shit like that. so there's ur point. and ps3 fear that this will create a wave so now they are removing install OS on 3.21 update and the default setting.

  • @mana2432 Idk i fur pc broek and u only had 1 it copuld be useful if u need to read emails and stuff but u dont rely need it since ps3 already has internet capability so i say its for fun or just have a mess around

  • @mana2432 this question is so retarded

  • lol

  • Its probably because you were trying to make a profit out of an "open source" which was something open to everyone....

  • what is linux? and is that the olny thing its good for or can it do more?

  • @mosstick

    Use Google you DA!

  • @mosstick im using it right now and if you know what you're doing. its great

  • Why was the ability to install Linux removed from the system?

    "There are a couple of reasons. We felt we wanted to move forward with the OS we have now. If anyone wants to use previous models and change the OS, they can do so." Koller said. "We wanted to standardize our OS."

    -Sony's John Koller

  • GNU/Linux hackers made it possible to use one of the SPUs like a GPU for accelerated OpenGL.

    Purely opinion/speculation but:

    That meant Sony would have lost control over games on the PS3; assuming that is why Sony disallowed direct access to the RSX GPU.

    Thus, they stopped shipping support for 'Other OS' with slim models to stop people from getting tons of nice free games on their PS3; some of which are "good enough" (e.g. Tremulous) to distract gamers from buying games of a similar type.

  • @godsizedhole

    SSL encryption cracked using a cluster of 200 PS3 machines :)

    Now, you tell me, is that called Cracking or Hacking :)

  • Cracking, I agree, whats your point...

  • @godsizedhole

    Point is Sony is very much concerned about the misuse of this power house! This is the soft reply from Sony:

    The PS3 Slim is a major cost reduction involving many changes to hardware components in the PS3 design. In order to offer the OtherOS install, SCE would need to continue to maintain the OtherOS hypervisor drivers for any significant hardware changes this costs SCE.

    Makes sense from their business perspective none could stop a Linux hack...like Hackintosh case :)

  • Muito bom...

    Ficou bem compatível,até melhor do que em um PC.O compiz em um PS3 iria funcionar muito bem,pois sua capacidade de processar gráficos é ótima.

  • can you still play ps3 games with the linux?

  • why did the slim remove this

  • it was so hacking the ps3 had even a lower chance of being cracked

  • you can't really "hack" an open source platform. It's basically pre-hacked. It may have been due to the claims of copyright infringement. Which there actually was none

  • oh ok thanks for the info nerd im just a gamer lol

  • Then why did you try and answer the question? Don't feign intelligence, and then try and back out when someone calls you on your shit.

  • well i know i bit but you are like the first person to say its hacked off the self lol witch its not,it needs something at least like a softmod to get anywere... thats just like saying you can play psp/ps1 isos on psp with sonys firmware .. anyway when i say it was to stop hacking with the ps3,people will evantually crack the code and hack it so the ram is more accelerated ..ie ps1 and ps2 games on linux...

  • You don't understand open source. Nerd.

  • im not a nerd.. nerds are smart lol and to show that,i dont even know what open source is,dont tell me though cause i probley wont understand you and i just dont really care

  • Because Sony is gay an don't know when they created something useful.

  • hi guys, Installed linux, and something went wrong, I made a video just resantly, can some one who knows a little bit about linux and ps3 check my account and a video I made, I really need to solve things out.

  • liar you have no video up

  • I solved the problem, so I just deleted it. sorry :)

  • sorry my bad

  • its ok :)

  • can you change the resolution

  • (as is stated on Sony's site) is a "copyright violation".

    It's opensource suckers

  • how do i switch back?

  • hey that's cool, have you downloaded a ps2 emulator for linux and try it out?

  • linux is reasonably fast on the ps3 but ur pc is probs better, but if u cant afford both then its ideal, but remember that linux will not be a part of the ps3 slim, sony have scrapped it.

  • Neat! So people who can't afford a ps3, and a computer. They have it all in one! loL! Except is the linux operating system slow or fast on the ps3? Because if its fast, that means you can play Runescape or other linux related games on the ps3, really well in high quality...right? :/

  • Its either fast or slow depending on how many gigs ur ps3 has,

    and dude, runescape in highquality is laggy for my 500 gig computer :P i dout itll be any better for any others

  • your harddisc doesnt affect the quality on the game.

  • dude u are retarded!!!!!!!!! how much HARD DISK SPAcE does not matter!! it depends on ur cpu, ram and your hd rpm! duh

  • Firstly, its hard drive, not hard disk,

    and yes it does, and Ps3's dont have ram (unless u got a memory stick) They have gigs,

    Ram isnt measured in gigs ._. stop trying to sound smart, ur making urself look retarded
