So as of now, which would be the easiest distribution, version, and architecture (x86_64 or ppc64?) to put linux onto the PS3 in terms of usability and ease of installation?Preferably starting with Fedora, then Ubuntu/Mint as I have had most experience with these.  But I do not mind using others. Thanks.   

You best option would be Red Ribbon GNU/Linux which is targeted at the PS3 platform. Red Ribbon is based on Debian Wheezy and the team behind have put in a lot of effort to make a seamless install on the PS3. I have tried RC6 and was impressed. They are now at RC7.

Website is here: http://redribbon.t15.org/

Latest ISO is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/redribbon/files/latest/download

AFAIR it can also be used as a Live Image.

Best regards


Pat
