    Is it possible to install Linux for PS3 on an external disk (usb HDD, flash drive, mem card)? I'd like to play around with it, but I really want to avoid modifying the boot sector of the internal HDD or anything like that.

    If not, does anyone know the "best" live disc linux for PS3? One that's totally laden with features.

    I'm not very experienced with Linux, but any info would be great.

    linux gets feck all access to the ps3's hardware, so its really really slow, i wouldnt bother if i were you its crap, even lower resource distros like ydl6 and ps3ubuntu, avoid like the plague, it just doesnt work, sony need to fix it

    Hmm, that's disappointing. All the same, I'd like to give it a spin. Is there a live disc you'd recommend?
