The whole Linux-on-PS3 thing has gone a little quiet of late. Maybe everyone who could install it has done so already. Maybe there’s nothing to actually do with it once it’s on there. Who knows.

If you have a PS3 and wouldn’t mind installing Linux on it, though, IBM have posted a series of articles detailing just how you get it done, and what you can do with it once it’s on there. Yeah, it takes a whole series of articles, not just one. What, you thought it was going to be easy?

I’ll warn you, this looks techy as all hell. My eyes could take about four minutes before my brain starting squealing like a pig and shut down.     hikolaos1983

Yes, it’s true that Qore will give you access to the upcoming Resistance 2 beta. However, that’s not the only way in, according to a recent post by Insomniac’s James Stevenson. According to Stevenson, “the best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon.” From the sounds of it, it will be similar to the Metal Gear Online beta test, where users were able to get in if they pre-ordered the game at GameStop.

The beta will expand to “all territories” as well. Obviously, the point of a beta is to check the stability of the network worldwide. Further details on how European fans can get into the beta will be released later.
