PS3 hacker and developer graf_chokolo has some great news for those who want to put Linux on their PS3 Slims. PS3Hax reports that the dev has made further inroads into bringing OtherOS back to the Sony home video game console.
Here's an in-depth explanation of how it was done straight from graf_chokolo's blog:
Great news, guys I was very busy in the last days and i managed to install Gentoo on the internal HDD of PS3 SlimI created a new VFLASH region of size 40GB and installing my Linux kernel there right now And GameOS doesn’t touch this region when i boot it So you can reformat your HDD (but not VFLASH) and Linux will be still there I resized VFLASH from 256MB to about 40GBNext steps:
- Compiling petitboot for PS3
- Installing petitboot on VFLASH
- Creating HV CFW which is capable of booting GameOS or petitboot. petitboot can boot Linux (or other OS) from HDD, FLASH, USB, CDROM or NFS (just like 3.15 did it or me on my PS3 3.41)
- Creating a more user-friendly approach for installing Linux on internal HDD
- BTW, check out my new ps3stor-utils and Linux device driver ps3stormgr. It allows you to create/delete storage regions on PS3 Linux I used it to create a new VFLASH region for Linux.
Here are my Linux partitions on VFLASH:brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 112 Mar 25 19:19 /dev/ps3vflashhbrw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 113 Mar 25 19:19 /dev/ps3vflashh1brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 114 Mar 25 19:21 /dev/ps3vflashh2brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 115 Mar 25 19:23 /dev/ps3vflashh3OtherOS++ will be back and even better than my 3.41 versionHV rules !!!

Besides, Who cares. We're dealing with a bunch of kids that think cluttering up threads with 1st post crap is fun. That's the whole thing. Were you 1st? NO you weren't! YOU FAIL! If you aint first then you aint nothing but A 2nd grade garbage trying to live of the other guys coat tails.

It wouldn't professional for a journalist to leave their opinion in the article or their questions. It would kinda make the article look bias and start flame-wars.

But for now it's better to wait for Sony to cool off, and let them figure a civilized way to work out things (banhammer).

or wait for something better like i don't know sue the guys pants off sounds like something sony would do to him because he hack the system.

Suing people isn't going to change anything on PS3 at all because homebrew and piracy will still be ongoing.
Sony fanboys always think suing is the way to go, wrong!

You sir are an idiot. Re read his comment Genius. Hes saying what Sony is most likely to do not what he wants them to do.

He's just one more of those who wants every hacker to be sued.
