Have you tried it on the PC3?

No i havn't , just been watching some videos of it, the only things thats seems worth it on linux is using moziila and playing old games like doom

For all your PS3 Linux needs.

I'll be installing it myself soon.

When I first got my PS3 two years ago I tried out Ubuntu and Yellow Dog and found both atrocious on the PS3. I appreciate that Sony allows us to put a tertiary OS on the PS3 but with all the hardware restrictions and limitations it runs terribly slow and really isn't worth the effort. You don't have access to any of the immense power of the PS3 and it's such a shame. The Linux community could do wonders with such hardware.

Granted, I haven't tried it in 2 years and Linux distros have advanced immensely in that time so I think I'll try again soon. However I haven't heard or read of any new support or lesser hardware restrictions being made by Sony so my hopes aren't up for it being that much better.

don't do it? it's not a very good computer because of certain restrictions.

I don't know, Linux seems to be pretty awesome on the PS3.  The video you posted seems to be pretty uninformed.  GPU is locked, so obviously no hardware acceleration, including 2D acceleration.  Playing emulators natively at full screen can be slow because of the lack of any hardware acceleration.  However, the community has provided a tool that uses one of the SPEs to zoom in on the center of the screen, allowing emulators to run in "full screen" without taking a hit on framerates.  More information here:  http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-guides-tutorials/how-setup-spe-scaler-tool-ps3-linux-100230.html

Youtube doesn't work on Linux PS3 because Flash doesn't support the PPC architecture.  There are reportedly some ways to work around this with plug-ins and such, but I can't attest to whether or not they work, or how well they work.  Although it seems to work pretty well based on this video (provided you put a little extra effort into getting youtube on the PS3 working):  http://www.savevid.com/video/youtube-working-in-yellow-dog-linux-60-on-the-ps3-with-how-to-in-the-description.html

Of course, Linux on the PS3 won't be able to do everything that Linux on a PC does.  Still, it seems to be pretty serviceable, depending on what you want to do with it.  Programmers might be interested in playing around with the Cell processor.  Others might want to play a lot of retro games through emulation.  And others might want a more robust media player, without having to rely on a PC to stream/transcode videos in formats the PS3 doesn't support.  There are a lot of possibilities with Linux on the PS3.  Just because it doesn't play CS or Quake 3, and it doesn't support flash (actually flash doesn't support the PPC) does not mean it doesn't work at all.

you have to have some experience with linux before you decide.

that guy on the video waron posted doesn't know anything about linux.

but also PS3 OS is restricted to 10 GB so be warned.
