Fedora Core Early on, it was a bit of a challenge to get Linux natively installed on the PS3. Time has passed, and a great deal has changed. Fedora 7 installs on the PS3 out of the box, with the most challenging installation steps eliminated. This article introduces the basic configuration knobs and widgets specific to the PS3 running Linux, shows you how to use them effectively, and suggests the kind of trickery that gets improved performance.

Sony are every bit as responsible for the ridiculous concept of a "trusted path" as those who implement it in their own equipment. You're forgetting that Sony delayed the PS3 by a year in order to finish off the DRM in Blu-Ray. You are also forgetting the Sony Rootkit fiasco. Oh, and MagicGate before that...

Yes, same as the recall, the "fix" that opened a massive security hole, and the lawsuit they lost that wasn't too.

uh, it was a pretty big deal, especially when malware started using the rootkit to hide. Here read these, and learn something:
