Linux on the 7th generation of consoles: Playstation 3 and Gentoo

Linux on the PS3 has a pretty interesting history. If you're familiar with the History of the PS3 you probably know that when it was first released in 2006 Sony shipped it with support to run other operating systems through a feature called OtherOS. OtherOS allowed people to install operating systems like Linux or FreeBSD on a second partition on the PS3 hard drive.

In 2010 Sony removed OtherOS support in firmware 3.21 because of security concerns" AKA some people were starting to use it to look a bit too close into the PS3 internals and figure out how to pirate games. With custom firmware it's possible to use OtherOS on modern firmwares so that's what we'll be doing here.
