Installation Instructions

The PS3 has a unique feature that allows you to install a third-party operating system on the console. Because of its popularity and ease of use, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. By installing Ubuntu, your Playstation 3 becomes much more than just a game console. You can use it as a home computer (running desktop applications), a web- or file server, play media files, and run applications like Firefox, Openoffice and multimedia tools.

Installing Ubuntu on the PS3 will take about an hour. The process involves three steps:

1. Setting up your PS3 to run Linux
2. Installing your Ubuntu version of choice.
3. Setting up your PSUbuntu installation
