HELLLPPP!


Thnkin you in advance!

What are the benefits of changing my OS to linux yellow dog on my PS 3?
Linux is basically Just An Operating System Similar To Windows ( A Little Less Complex ). The Benefits Are If You Would Like A "PC" Type Interface Running Off Your PS3 and are interested in using it as a server ect. , But If You Are Interested In Games ect. It Would Be advisable That You Leave The XMB The Way It Is, It Is Much SImpler To Use. I Would Also Advise you Not To Try Anything Until You Gain A Bit More Knowledge About The Linux System.





But Hey!, If You Fancy Having A Go At Using Linux, Why Not! If You Don't Like It, Simply Use The format Utility, Format The Hard Drive And Presto Chango, Your Back to The Good Ol' XMB.
Reply:From the sounds of it, you shouldn't be using linux. If you don't have experience with linux, I wouldn't suggest using it for PS3. It is mainly for people that want to alter games, or make their PS3 into a server.





IF YOU DO MAKE IT A LINUX PS3, YOU COULD RUIN IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
