I've tried all these media servers before and they gave me nothing but a headache. Nero was recommended the most and worked first try but after that it wouldn't work again. I just give up in the end and went out and bought a 500gb media player which wil play all those avi (divX) files, vob. mpeg, etc. I can't see why the PS3 didn't have divX in the first place, licensing can't be that of a problem as I've seen the most cheapest of DVD players have divX?

For Linux I think you first download the image file from the Yellow dog site (the image may be found else where?) and you burn the image to CD. There is also something else that is needed that you copy to a memeorystick or usb drive or any form of memery storage you can put in your PS3. Before you start you need a keyboard and mouse according to the instruction on the website the last time I looked.
From the videos I've seen of yellow dog linux at places like youtube, it didn't look that great.
