Most of you senior members, will remember madshaun1984′s work on installing XBMC on PS3 not long after firmware 3.21 was released, those of you who don’t know, or those of you that have forgotten, can refresh your minds here, whilst that has nothing to do with the news post at hand, it is a reminder that madshaun1984, is well versed with Linux on the PS3.
To the point, madshaun1984 has released an improved version of kmeaw’s ubuntu.rar, here is the read me:

Your probrably wondering why this install is running so slowly, that is because you need a swap device.
Grab a spare 1gb usb/sd/ms pro/cf stick/card and use a vm to format it as a swap device. (google has many guides if you dont know how to do this).
Then in terminal (on your ps3 not in the vm) type…
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
and wait for the window to open,
unhash the line relevant to your device,
IE:
/dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_ms##
##/dev/sdb1 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_sd##
##/dev/sdc1 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_cf##
##/dev/sdd1 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_usb001##right usb port##
##/dev/sdd2 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_usb002##
##/dev/sdd3 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_usb003##
##/dev/sdd4 none swap sw 0 0 ##dev_usb004##left usb port##
^ is currently set to use /dev/sda1 (dev_ms) (you’ll find this in /etc/fstab aswell, but ignore the lines above /dev/sda1 (unless you know what you are doing).
########################Gallium README###########################
Gallium 0.2/Software Rasterizer Readme:
To use the galium 0.2 driver, open a terminal window and copy/paste this next line…
cd mesa && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib/gallium:$PWD/lib/
The driver will remain in use till the terminal windows is closed, to make the change permanent, edit your bash.rc file and copy paste the above line at the bottom.
Confirm the driver is running by typing glxinfo in the terminal window and looking for the string…
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.2 on Cell
####################Software Rasterizer README#####################
To return to the software rasterizer, close the terminal or just open a new terminal (the latter will result in the ability to use both drivers at the same time (good for comparison)).
############################Demos README###########################
The demos available are… (just type one in terminal with either driver)
glxgears
glxheads
glxdemo

The following are installed but are failing to start (shared library error)

#########################Cell-SDK README##########################
The Cell-SDK(3.0) is installed for use in the normal way. Google is a good way to get aquianted with what demo’s are available for the cell-sdk. Or look for cell-sdk development on OtherOS (and code samples will work with this install).
The cell-programming-primer is also installed and relevant docs can be found here…

Kmeaw for the ubuntu image archive, his 3.55 cfw, and the Asbestos loader/lv2 patcher.
All involved in protecting our privacy (dont forget to unplug your ethernet lead before shutting down/returning to the xmb).
Sony for pushing those involved with developing/making ps3 cfw/homebrew possible into everything they have done so far.
marcan42 for his work on the Asbestos loader (which made this install possible).
And anyone else I’ve left out who feels they helped in any way.

Installation:
Originally posted by another user
To use, just copy the unpacked linux.img's (10x 1gb files) to the root of your ps3's hdd, or external usb and run the AsbestOS installer v1.5 (untested on 2.0).
Then use the lv2 patcher (v9) to load linux.
(my hosting is a bit limited on monthly bandwidth, so please upload to your hosting etc... to ease the burden, (please link source to here though)).
This release does not have Graf_chokolo's kernal/mods installed.
the user+pass on this version of ubuntu remain ps3/ps3 (the sudoers file is also fixed etc...)
First posted on ps3hax.net, that other site that steals everyone elses work and releases as there own, steal this if you wish, but people are on to you!!
Thanks to kmeaw, marcan42. and anyone else involved in making this possible.

Though this will require you to purchase an add-on, I have seen numerous 'usb hubs' which can be found basically anywhere. Here in Canada I was able to buy one at a local dollar store for a buck. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that should do the trick, hence more USB ports.

Thanks for confirmation! Relating back to the topic, if users whom possess a 2 usb port PS3 wish to have more, they could also use the Guitar Hero adapters (If they have them). If you notice, the guitar hero drums, and I even believe guitar feature the ability for things to plug into them at the bottom. Though they occupy a usb port, they compensate by having two usb slots at the bottom.
