March of the Penguins: a Ubuntu Linux PS3 one-stop shop

Ubuntu Linux: the people-friendly Linux - Image 1Play Beyond? OS beyond. Presuming you are of the inclination, you might have played a bit with the PS3's other-OS Linux capabilities, installing it, running it, seeing what programs you could play with in it. And, as we've found, Linux can be quite the delight with Sony's console, once you pick yer poison: Fedora, Yellow Dog, Gentoo, SUSE, Ubuntu.

Speaking of Ubuntu, the people-friendly Linux: the fellow over at the Ubuntu community put together a one-stop shop for Ubuntu on the PS3. It combines installation and running instructions, and resources for anyone who might like to try any of the Ubuntu family (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu) on their console. Hit this link to learn more.

Vista? What's that?

I really want to put some linux on sometime. I might as well get a larger hd too. Just not sure reward vs. risk is reward yet.
