My PS3 says I have to format my hard drive to install another OS how do I keep the original OS and install lenux? And not take up too much RAM?

Hi guys!

I installed Intrepid on my PS3. Do I really need new kernel? Why? What’s the diffrerence?

Thanks.

Nikolaus, you are totally right, although I have been using Xubuntu 7.10 for several weeks now. This Intrepid stuff (8.10) needs to stay in the oven a little longer for the average user, IMO.

I am sorry to repeat the previous question, but why not use Xubuntu, due to it’s low RAM usage? I have Xubuntu 7.10 ppc running on my PS3 and I’m also running usually around 50% RAM usage, similar to your screenshot. Have you tried Xubuntu? I can’t find any good info comparing Linux versions on PS3 so any info would be helpful.

The .iso link posted in the summary above is wrong (first link in the tutorial)! The link is Hardy (8.04.1), but you need to download an Intrepid (8.10) .iso. Read page two of Miguel’s original post for the correct .iso:

Ahhh…It’s really good!Thanks!I have changed my net-name into PS3Kubuntu as my used net-name was PS3Xubuntu!Right now Kubuntu 8.04.1 is the only release edition of ubuntu for PS3 and with Long Term Support.It’s a really sad thing for us but gives us a really luck.The ‘sad’ is there is no any other choice such as Gnome or Xfce;the luck is that Kubuntu is the only release edition of ubuntu for PS3 and the only we can support and don’t need any other choosing!
