Geohot working to save PS3 Linux support
Next month, the PS3 will be ditching its Linux operating system support – something that the console has had since it launched in 2006. There must be a way to stop this, no?
On April 1, Sony will release the next firmware update for the PS3, bringing it to v3.21. It seems the sole purpose of this update is to remove the “install other OS” feature from pre-Slim models of the console. Hacker Geohot is already working on a fix, sister site Gizmodo points out.
Geohot, a key player in jailbreaking the iPhone, is totally hacked off by Sony’s decision to remove Linux, blogging: "When 3.21 comes out, I will look into a safe way of updating to retain OtherOS support, perhaps something like Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher."
