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 is DRM and DRM is Sony. I cannot think of a company that has been on the dark side of things for more time than Sony.
Many years ago I bought an "mp3 player" by Sony. That rounded piece of crap needed proprietary DRM software to transfer anything into it, also wouldn't let you recover your own files. Last thing I will ever buy from them.
Blue DRMay is Sony's format.
Sony. Releasing crippled hardware and contents since the 1990s."
More mindless anti-Sony sentiment. Apple anyone? Their mp3 players (iPhone and iPod Touch) are even more locked down with DRM than their previous generation. Sony has been actively doing quite the opposite with their portable media player lineup moving away from DRM. Sony are NOT the big DRM merchant you make them out to be, and NOT the worst by a stretch.
Another ridiculous misconception (and one I'd expect to thrive around here) is the hopeless Sony = blu-ray nonsense. blu-ray was invented by a _consortium_ and Sony was simply the most aggressive advocate, with it included in the PS3. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, as for the fools saying 'Sony could have ditched HDCP'. What utter rubbish. If Sony didn't follow specs and thus couldn't interconnect with all the TV sets that require HDCP for 1080p you'd all be up in arms wouldn't you? Sony are actually adopting standards here.
Get a clue!
