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.
