Here is a link on how to install Ubuntu on the PS3. Ubuntu is a really good Linux OS. Just make sure you have the latest update on the PS3 before you install.

Thank you. Will there be different versions of Linux on the website? If so, which version should I choose? Also, will my ps3 be able to go to the website that you have given, or do I need to use my laptop to go to the website? Thanks.
Yes. You will be able to go onto the web page using the PS3. There will be different versions of Linux but, I would choose Ubuntu because it is a well made and widely known operating system. To get Ubuntu on the PS3 you need to burn a CD with the ISO image file that you will download.
I have access to Linux, but I cannot finish. Once the ps3 goes to another operating system, my controller shuts down. Do I need to purcahse a keyboard to finish the downloading process?
To use the Controller, you need to connect it to the PS3 using the USB cable.
I forgot to mention that after connecting it with the cable, push the PS button.
I plugged the controller into the usb, still no luck.
you have to have a keyboard to do the installation. You can use any USP keyboard.
