This video shows 5 things one can do with a yellow dog linux install on their ps3. After making numerous videos showing various gaming perks of yellow dog I figured I would show some other advantages of having linux on your ps3.

The five things:

1. Ipod compatibility playback in YDL
2. Surf the net with Firefox and Opera
3. Bittorrent
4. A little work (open office)
5. Playback formats unsupported by sony OS

There are a number of other things you can do as well just check out my other videos.

If you want to try Linux on your PS3 then check out this guide;

  • can u use ur regular ps3 controller to linux

  • can it get virus and mess up your ps3???

  • no it can not

  • @efaustus9 uh... yes it can. Anything can get a virus if one were written for it.

  • @cheezyness. you are correct in that you could get a virus if someone were to go through the trouble of writing one for this particular distro of a PPC based linux. Not to mention you would have to help said virus out by running it with root privileges. However even if these two unlikely things did occur it still would not mess up your ps3 as linux on the ps3 run under a hypervisor and is not permitted to access the main system. my point is that linux on your ps3 can not mess up your ps3.
