Install Other OS
One of the most interesting options within the PlayStation's system settings is "Install Other OS".
According to Sony's PlayStation 3 Web site, you can "Use this option to install other system software on the internal hard disk." While the PS3's Cell Processor will support Linux, and some report say the Sony initially planned to pre-install Linux on PS3 hard drives, launch units contain only Sony's original PS3 OS.
