Has anyone on here switched over to running linux and firefox for your ps3?
If so how do you like it?

    I installed Gentoo on mine a year or so ago along with KDE as the GUI. It works pretty well and I have managed to get emulators working with no sound and mounted some network drives. It is functional but I rarely ever boot into it.

    So it's double boot? No risk of losing your PS3 OS?

    Unless of course you jack things up to the point where not even that is possible, which I've seen some people do.
