Can I download Linux on My PS3 with an external hard drive?

Q. I want to download linux but i hear you need a flash drive and have to partition your internal drive. All i have is a 500gig external drive and 40gig internal. Can I make it work? I really dont want to spend more money on a flash drive if this can be done.

A. You can only run Linux on the internal hard drive. The PS3 can't boot Linux from an external device.

I'm sure you can save the Linux files onto the external hard drive and install them from there to the internal hard drive. You'll need to create a partition on the internal hard drive. I think its 10-12 GB.

Where is the offical site to download linux?
Q. How do I know which is the best place to download Linux? How do I know that the site I download form is a offical site of Linux?

A. There is no "official" linux.

There are many different distributions or 'flavors' of linux. some are easier to learn than others. some are on CD some on 2 or more.

When I was interested in Linux I went to www.linuxiso.org

That site has downloads for 15 or 20 distributions of linux and links you to the official download site for that particular distro. I would recommend going there first.

Before you download and install any distribution make sure that all your hardware and software is compatible and download ALL the necessary drivers before you make the big switch to linux or you will be in a world of hurt trying to find these drivers after the face, especially if the driver you are looking for is for your video, keyboard, or internet.

Linux can be good to learn and has advantages over windows XP and possibly over Vista as well such as security, lack of viruses, and stability.

How do you download Linux to a Windows XP PC without downloading Windows 7?
Q. I need to download Linux so i can get a software on my PC called Rosegarden which only runs on Linux..i know of some ways to download Linux but you need to have Windows 7 which i do not but i really need Rosegarden and i cannot buy windows 7..any help? thankss :)

A. Uh? Why the heck would you need windows 7 to use Linux? It's a FREE Operating system, who ever says you need windows 7 is full of bull. Download a distro (ubuntu is likely best for a beginner) bear in mind, Linux is NOTHING like windows and you may find yourself frustrated and lost.
