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.

Just for kicks, for the fun of it? Homebrew games? Simulations? Mediacenter use? Raking in high scores for Folding@home? Put together a small cluster for scientific work?
My plan is to use Linux on the PS3 for media playback from a Linux server, if setting up a compatible server is too much of a PITA. The PS3 wants to see a DNLA server. Windows Media is one, and there are a couple OpenSource projects, but it may be easier to use Totem and SSH.
Also, the PS3 should make a decent X11 display. It would be nice to be able to display things off my desktop on the TV.
