Why would you want to do this? Can you still play your PS3 games? Any other benifits?

NECRO!!!!

bosluis, you would be able to dual-boot after an installation like this, if it were still possible on the new consoles. The functionality to install Linux has been removed from the PS3 in newer software upgrades.

Having a dual-boot would mean that you could use your PS3 as an actual PC, with keyboard and mouse, as a Media PC or whatever. Then after a reboot, you can boot up the PS XMB and it would be a normal PS3.
