I just got a PS3

I wanna install a OS but I don't know which one to choose
I wanna be able to emulate and the installation cannot be too complicated
Please and thank you

I'd suggest xubuntu. the *buntu family is great for ppl new to Linux, and xubuntu is light enough to run pretty good.

I'd recommend saving the 10GB for games that need installations. Unless you're planning to upgrade your hard drive to a bigger one.

Run emulators on your PC (or PSP if you have one) you'll get a lot more from them and a lot more emulators will run.

PS3 linux is severely gimped.

I agree.
I installed ubuntu and haven't used it since. Now I'm regretting it cause I'm running out of room (on my 80gb)

Yea same story here to

. But you should go for ubuntu as its easy to get used to but the only thing that sucks is that you have to configure the wifi.
