At the beginning of December 2006 if I want to install Linux on my Playstation 3, the obvious options are FC5 and Yellow Dog. I'm sure both are fine distributions, but I use Gentoo for all my home machine and at work and so step one when I unpacked my PS3 was to puzzle out how to install Gentoo. Note: The method described below is for making a standard Gentoo install from Stage 3 on a PS3 - there is no handholding and is aimed at someone who is experienced with linux. Recently the Gentoo-PPC64 team have built a stage 4 and LiveCD which simplifies the process, there are instructions at http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/InstallGentooOnPS3 However... For me half the fun of Gentoo is in building the system and a stage 4 is one stage too many:) So below are instructions on how to do a stage 3 Gentoo install on the Sony PS3. |

After I made my original guide to installing Gentoo on the PS3, I made a tarball available of my install for people who wanted to dive straight in - but also people new to Gentoo have been using it so this is a guide based on my original, but for installing a user made stage4 tarball instead of a normal stage3 install. |

So, now you have a Gentoo install on a PS3, the next big task is to install the development tools. At the moment the process for creating the toolchains is in a state of flux, I'll try to keep this up to date but keep an eye out for some "official" documentation appearing at some point. |
