Best Answer

Yes

There are distributions of Linux that can be installed on the PS3.

The most popular to my knowledge would be Ubuntu, Fedora Core 5 and Yellow Dog.

A web search on for example: PS3 Ubuntu

would probably provide you with a comprehensive guide.

It is also completely safe to do so, as sony have incorporated tools to allow you to do this without damaging your PS3. ---------------------------------------------------------- goto http://YouTube.com/user/dodgedurangoman and i have some vids on how to install
