I was very excited when I heard about the new low price of the PS3 "Slim" console. However that didn't last long as Sony has indicated that unlike previous versions, installing Linux on the PS3 is "not supported". Why? they didn't say. So... there go my hopes of getting a PS3 console to watch Blu-Ray movies *and* install Fedora on it http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PlayStation#Status Questions: -Is this a firmware issue? Did they just remove the option to boot a secondary OS from the menus? Can this be worked around? -Can the PS3 "Slim" be made to run an older firmware release from the "fat" previous version that does include such option? -What if you take the HD from a "fat" PS3 with Linux and plug it into the PS3 Slim? If anyone on this list is experienced with running Fedora on the PS3, I'd like to know more about these issues. TIA...
