Linux/BSD distributions
Linux/BSD distributions must conform to some aspects before they are useable on the PS3:
- PPC64 (PowerPC 64bit), recommended or PPC32 (PowerPC 32bit)
- Kernel patches etc, for PS3 support (e.g.: Linux / BSD)
- Boot support for GPT (GUID Partition Table)
Side note : You can run a GNU/Linux distribution (OtherOS++) with a MSDOS partition table, but GPT is (very) recommended.
List of distributions
The below worked in old OtherOS (FW 1.60 =< 3.15) , should work on OtherOS++ with some effort as well.

- Backtrack 3-5 (No PowerPC version is available, compiling one might be an option, but maintaining it would be a nightmare)
NetBSD
It should run under 3.15 firmware OtherOS. Glevand is working on a port to OtherOS++.
Original port to PlayStation 3 : ftp://nandra.segv.jp/pub/NetBSD/ps3/
Gitbrew Wiki page about NetBSD : http://wiki.gitbrew.org/wikibrew/PS3:NetBSD
Glevand's NetBSD repository : http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/netbsd/
If you want to help to port NetBSD to OtherOS++, please join the following communication support :
Forum : http://wiki.gitbrew.org/forum/f/37/
IRC : Channel #otheros on irc.gitbrew.org (ssl/6697) or channel #ps3linux on irc.efnet.net.
Note : All the Gitbrew related links/support/etc are down at the moment and maybe forever (08/16/2012).
In order to help, you should at least got a proper working NetBSD environment on your PC, dual-boot, virtual-machine or harddisk installation.
