Sony has declared that the next update of its device would prevent the launch of third-party OS. This therefore marks the end of the distribution Fedora or Yellow Dog for Sony's console.

The firmware 3.21 kills on Linux console
Particularly, once the firmware 3.21 installed, its publication is planned for 1 April, which partition is the alternative OS will be erased. Sony suggests making a backup of its data.

It is also possible to never put his device to date but that means, among other things, it will be impossible to access the PlayStation Network and ipso facto, online games and chat. Some games will also be unsuited as some videos protected and stored on a media server, when the DTCP-IP is allowed on the PS3.Enfin, new features launched by the updates will not be accessible.

at last, we imagine that only organizations using PS3 cluster for compute-intensive users or very connected to their Linux distributions will decide not to update their PS3.

No doubt this decision will leave more of a complainer, especially since this feature was one of the few distinguished older models of the PS3 Slim.

Sony says it take out this feature because of security concerns. In fact, it would not be surprising to see a class action against the manufacturer who removes an important feature of its product.
