I think it's gotten to the point where it's useful enough for other people to be interested, so here's something resembling an official announcement.

AsbestOS (a mineral, and meaning "inextinguishable" in Greek) is a bootloader to run PS3 Linux without OtherOS. It runs using the USB GameOS exploit (on PS3...
