I know Linux will work. I've heard of people installing Windows XP and Apple OSX on their PS3 but it will run slow as hell because those OS's aren't designed to work with the PS3's architecture.
I was just wondering if any one has installed a secondary operating system on a PS3.I know the PS3 is open source and according to the manual it can be done. I have heard some individuals have loaded Linux on their consoles.
