If you were missing the Other OS which allowed the PlayStation 3 to run other operating systems such as Linux then you are in luck.


The Other OS came with the early PS3 models and achieved a relative degree of success among users before Sony ditched it from newer models and released a software update to wipe it from older ones too.


This caused a bit of grief with some users in the PlayStation world, and some of the most well known hackers vowed to find a way round this. And now they have done it.


The people who have returned Linux toPS3 users are from Gitbrew.org and they have produced an Other OS++ which hackers say is even better than the official Sony OS. It works on just about all PS3 models and also gets to access all of the machine’s hardware.


The download is a bit on the heavy side and you will need to check that your console is compatible but if the official removal of this feature irked you then now is your chance to get it back.
