Ubuntu Linux and Symfony on a PlayStation 3

,----[ Quote ]
| Running linux on a playstation 3 is not a hack, it doesn’t require any 
| hardware modification, won’t disable any feature on your Playstation 3 and is  
| not difficult to do. 
| 
| Sony officially support running linux on your ps3 with dedicated tools 
| present in the XMB ( Cross-mediabar, the UI of the Playstation 3).

Tools Released to Perform 'Timing Attack' to Downgrade Kernel

,----[ Quote ]
| Robinsod already released the schematics and documentation to perform 
| the 'Timing Attack' that will allow you to downgrade any Xbox360 kernel to an 
| exploitable kernel (which will allow you to already run Linux and also 
| Homebrew application when they come out) earlier this week. Today he released 
| a package of software tools that together with the Infectus modchip and his 
| PIC interface (if you can't make this yourself, Team Infectus is working on a 
| prebuild daughterboard) will allow you to perform this hack yourself.

New KingKong Shader exploit for XeLL and Linux LiveCD

,----[ Quote ]
| The LiveCD doesn't support the Toshiba-Samsung DVD drive for now
| (unless you can get it in 0800-mode, but afaik there's no way to do
| that if you're using the new method with the new shaders above), so
| you'll need an Xbox360 Hitachi-LG drive. Then just boot your
| modified King Kong, press start on the main menu and when the
| drive opens, insert the gentoo xenon LiveCD.

| Installing and configuring Xebian will require not only performing various 
| tasks to allow Linux to run on the box, but also use of the Linux command
