One of the many features of the PlayStation 3 is that it is able to use Linux, which means that the PS3 owners can customize their system and get much more out of it. Game consoles tend to be designed to prevent the execution on these foreign systems, but Sony disappeared in total the opposite direction to the PS3, for an experienced Linux user to customize their system. Most of the game systems will be intentionally locked so that other systems will be unable to run, so the PlayStation is unconventional by allowing this. The only thing that is not possible with the PS3 is to run accelerated graphics.
The PlayStation 3 is not the first game system for Linux. The Xbox also uses this feature, but differs from the PS3 in several ways. To start with, the PS3 is more powerful. In addition, the Xbox requires an additional chip to run Linux, while the PS3 is able to operate without. In fact, it's completely free run Linux on the PlayStation 3.
Here are some options you have with Linux on the PlayStation 3.
With the addition of a keyboard and a mouse, the PlayStation 3 can be used as a PC. Not all PC programs are able to adapt to the environment of the PS3, least not yet, but Linux allows you many choices.
Run your own operating system. This is a great advantage for those who would prefer to customize their system.
Make sure the Internet. You can search the web on your PS3 with the Firefox internet browser.
Use Office software. Even if, at the present time it is reported that Windows does not run as well on the PS3. In the future, however, Microsoft may consider create a version of Windows that can run on the PlayStation 3. There was no official word on this at this time.
Perform various types of emulators. This will allow you to play your favorite old on your new PlayStation 3 games.
Play a variety of types of media, such as CD, DVD and CD-ROM with Linux running, you can listen to music or watch movies on your PS3
Connect to share networks. This will allow you to save and retrieve files on a server to the outside, which means a saving in memory.
There is a slight problem with obtaining Linux on your PlayStation 3 console, but, and it is because it is difficult to install and difficult to use. At the moment, it is fairly well reserved for programmers and enthusiasts. In the future, we hope, will be a user-friendly interface more accompanying Linux console games. Since the emergence of the PS3, most programmers like to use Fedora Core to run Linux on their PS3, but there is now a new system in a town called Yellow Dog, which is intended to be used specifically on PS3. Yellow dog is the highly rated exhibition and won.
Yet, the best thing about Linux is that it is totally free. Everything you need is a PlayStation 3, cable necessary, a USB keyboard and mouse, a flash drive USB and various other accessories installation run more smooth... ok, so if you do not already have all that stuff, its really free pas, but Linux itself certainly is! It may be that difficult to install, not if you have used Linux before. There is a wide selection of Web sites out there that provide advice on the installation and seem more recommend Yellow Dog. You will find also many excellent ideas on how to run Linux in games forums.
