Nope - sorry. Yellow Dog Linux won't run on Intel architecture processors like the one you quoted. YDL is for PowerPC-processor based computers only.

This would include Power Macintoshes (G4 & G5), PlayStation 3s, IBM BladeCenters and other assorted PowerPC hardware.

There's a complete list of supported hardware here:

Well - no - but that's the main thing.

YDL isn't going to like your motherboard, your BIOS, your I/O structure, your hard disc interface, etc. either. It's designed around a specific Apple/IBM joint motherboard specification for PowerPC architecture that all of these computers I listed in the post above share.

Which PS3 do you have? If you have one of the "slim" PS3s, you can't run it on that one either.

Otherwise, be sure to take a peek at the installation instructions here:

The PS3 installation isn't too hard - but it's different from most other computers.
