If, for some reason, you are one of the people who gets excited over running Linux on your PlayStation 3, then there's a new Dog in town.
"For end users, Yellow Dog Linux v6.1 offers an updated Firefox and OpenOffice.org, a vastly improved graphical wireless configuration tool, and the introduction of ps3vram functionality which enables use of PS3 video RAM for temporary storage or swap."
This is the first release of Yellow Dog Linux by new owners, Fixstars. Fixstars acquired Terra Soft Solutions (and their Yellow Dog Linux product) last month.
Update: Yellow Dog Linux is now available for download.
Myself, I leave my Linux on my PCs, and my games on my game consoles, but hey, Sony lets you do both with your PS3, if you so choose.

933 @killquick: if you didn't partition your hard drive already (and you likely didn't), then you'd have to partition and format it first. I don't see there ever being a way around that.
If you just want to try Linux first to see if you'd like it, go to http://www.ubuntu.com/ and download that. You can use it right off the CD on your PC. You can install it to your PC optionally (and you can surf the web or play some games while it installs, too).
I have heard about this os running on your ps3, before you had to format your harddrive to put it on for the first time, is it still like that now? or can you just run it over what you have on your ps3 so it will merge with everything.
