(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i am hearing all this talk about OS's well if i put linux or any other OS on my ps3 what will it help me do. is it important in hacking or what

Possible hot route to downgrade your ps3, Linux always been the better way of hacking the ps3.

the new "OS" isnt out yet so i try u could possibly brake your PS3

does it have high risk of brick ot YLOD, will it change the XMB layout?

If u have FAT PS3 YLOD may appear one day. SLIM it won't appear

i bet the PS3 can handle XP. So yes it can handle linux.
