Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday January 10, 2007 @02:46AM from the white-knight-hasn't-shipped-yet-anyway dept.

An anonymous reader writes "My friend Jake just bought a PS3, and he wanted to install Linux on it. Since he didn't know much about Linux, it was my responsibility to help him with it. His requirements — Install a distribution which is easy to maintain and run. He wanted to make the full use of his Linux install, so he needed a distro which wouldn't hold him back with frustrating problems. The only solution was using a distro which had a better package management system, and did its work without bothering you, the end user. Having used Gentoo extensively, I knew that this would be the solution to my problems. What follows is full install instructions, plus personal opinions, on why Gentoo is better than Fedora Core or YDL on the PS3"

if only I couldn't buy an actual computer for less than it would cost to buy a PS3.

So you installed Gentoo. You bastard. Did you run over his dog at the same time?
