PS3 and Ubuntu

With the recent release of the PS3 Slim and the removal of the ability to load other operating systems onto it, my thoughts went to my original release PS3 that I have Ubuntu installed on. I figured that if I have the ability that many new PS3 owners don't have, I may as well find a way to use it for something useful, right?

So, I left the games and the flashy new firmware 3.0 behind for a bit and booted into my Ubuntu partition. It looked so bare but then again, I haven't done a whole lot with it, so no surprise there.

Next, I figured I better run a few updates...and that's what I'm doing right now. So, for a few more hours, I'll be busy "waiting" while all the updates are downloaded. From there, we'll see what happens.
