    A member of French 'scene' site Ps3-Addict.fr, dudu.clx brings us his new creation, PS3A Linux-Box v1. Made to make installing OtherOS++ on your modified PS3 consoles a lot simpler, these scripts will run after the OtherOS++ partition is created. To go along with this release the author has also created two videos. You can find the official release below, roughly translated by Google:

    The linux installer for ps3 otheros + + consists of a series of scripts that will run from petitboot once otheros + + partitions created correctly (success create_hdd_region.sh).

    It will be regularly updated to correct, improve some support and offer still more versions of Linux.

    You can find all the help around with linux on ps3 guide !

    You can find out all he offers through the changelog:

    • Choice of light configuration, or custom for Debian and Ubuntu (and many office applications).
    • Choice of evolution of Debian MintPPC.
    • Choice of evolution of Debian to Red Ribbon.
    • Choice between versions for ubuntu jaunty, karmic, karmic, maverick and maverick .
    • Choosing to migrate to Ubuntu or Kubuntu Xubuntu (when choosing his office).
    • Configuring the wifi for FAT (ubuntu and debian).
    • Installing Fedora Core 12 with Cell SDK preinstalled (text only).


    Changes planned:

    • Fixed script and successful installation of Gentoo.
    • Added installation of Mandriva, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE, OSX Leopard.
    • Added a setup script in Fedora Core 12.
    • Choice of installing the IBM Cell SDK for debian and ubuntu.

    Using PS3A Linux-Box:

    Requirements:
    • Have a PS3 with a CFW otheros + +
    • Having prepared the hard disk
    • Restart the PS3 petitboot.

    Use:

chmod a + x ps3a.sh 
sh ./ps3a.sh
    And instructions! Just enter a choice from a list, the rest just happens!

    To illustrate how it works, I've made ​​two videos:

      No, not the woman......just the PS3 from in front of her. On the topic though...... It is nice to see something like this. It may help to get more people interested in getting Linux on the PS3. At least it would give an easier opportunity for those that are interested.

      I not sure why people keep using this girl, in regard to PS3 stuff.Maybe because she WAS Cyber Girl of the Year for 2008And is still "Gamer Next Door" on Twitter.But oh'well, each to their own.

      Probably because she was the perfect 'white board' for them to mark up with all those logos. Seemed fair enough to me. Plus I think dudu.clx like girls with paint on them alot, so it goes well with his release.

      But thanks for the heads up on the gal!
