Can I download Linux on My PS3 with an external hard drive?

Q. I want to download linux but i hear you need a flash drive and have to partition your internal drive. All i have is a 500gig external drive and 40gig internal. Can I make it work? I really dont want to spend more money on a flash drive if this can be done.

A. You can only run Linux on the internal hard drive. The PS3 can't boot Linux from an external device.

I'm sure you can save the Linux files onto the external hard drive and install them from there to the internal hard drive. You'll need to create a partition on the internal hard drive. I think its 10-12 GB.

How to download Linux with a blocker on...?
Q. I have a built-in internet explorer blocker on, and i want to download Linux. (Don't ask) Bable fish doesn't solve the problem. Is there a way someone can post a link or something so that I don't have to go to the website? Thanks! (Any kind of linux will work. I am just a normal person, with normal needs. I will provide more information if you need more information. I don't exactly know that much about linux.)

A. 1. You could ask someone to download and burn it to a cd for your.

2. You could go to the website below and request a disk be mailed to you. Some are free and some have a fee.
Good luck

Where is the offical site to download linux?
Q. How do I know which is the best place to download Linux? How do I know that the site I download form is a offical site of Linux?

A. There is no "official" linux.

There are many different distributions or 'flavors' of linux. some are easier to learn than others. some are on CD some on 2 or more.

When I was interested in Linux I went to www.linuxiso.org

That site has downloads for 15 or 20 distributions of linux and links you to the official download site for that particular distro. I would recommend going there first.

Before you download and install any distribution make sure that all your hardware and software is compatible and download ALL the necessary drivers before you make the big switch to linux or you will be in a world of hurt trying to find these drivers after the face, especially if the driver you are looking for is for your video, keyboard, or internet.

Linux can be good to learn and has advantages over windows XP and possibly over Vista as well such as security, lack of viruses, and stability.
