Linux Returning To The PS3?
A hacker has created some tools which can apparently alter the system's firmware, which is a first step towards further homebrew alterations – including the possible return of Linux to the system.
When Sony released the new-form PS3 Slim model, it disabled the use of other OS such as Linux with the new unit due to piracy concerns. Now, however, hacker KaKaRoTo has developed a set of tools that lets people alter the system's firmware, which is apparently the first step towards possibly allowing people to install things like Linux and other homebrew tinkering.
Anyone out there into this kind of stuff?

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
