Linux Install?
« on: January 03, 2009, 08:27:58 PM »
Well Im about to install linux on my PS3
and I'm trying to figure out do you have
to burn the iso of the linux distro to  a
cd/dvd or can you just put the iso on like
a usb thumb drive and it istall it from the ISO.
Also what do you think the best distro is for
the PS3? :dntknw:

Yellow Dog is the most supported, but i use Ubuntu for PS3 because thats also what i use on my computer as well (tripile boot Vista 64, Vista 32, and Ubuntu 64bit). Yes you have to burn the Live CD to a CD.
