OK copy the data to the root of a memory stick. Then go to system settings and install other os. Go up one and change the default os and then change it to other os. It will restart and load into linux and thats you.

It would involve formatting your whole HDD and having 10GB of your hard drive dedicated to Linux and you need a usb keyboard and mouse.

Let me clear this up. You HAVE to have something to run the OS off of because the PS3 system can't store 1GB worth of data into ram and then run off of it. Or you can run it from an external USB drive.

How could it mess your PS3 up? It is an OS that runs on a USB stick. Worst it will do is corrupt your file system.
