Okay, I've been reading that you can make your PS3 a server, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a tutorial or something so that you can do that? Because I really don't play the PS3 that much, and I was planning on making a server, but then I found out that the PS3 can be a server, so I wanted to do that! So does anyone know of a tutorial or instructions on how to make the PS3 a Server? Thanks!

And I don't mean like a thing that streams from my PC to PS3, I mean an actual Server!

yes it can be done to build your own server to match your needs you can use Linux (Debian or red hat) and build a kernel with tftp and nfs root file system support, instructions and necessary files can be found here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/p...-root-howto.txt

or you can use the standard ubuntu Linux server cd from here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.04/release/

either way you need some Linux knowledge.
