Just wondering, could this be installed on the PS3?

I would love to put this on my PC but I still am hesitant to do so as I'm not Linux savy yet.

It appears you can... From what I understand it uses an alternate kernel you can call at boot time. There is some information here on the alpha/beta versions of 11.0: http://www.nabble.com/Installing-OpenSUSE-11-alpha3-on-PS3-td16494385.html#a16539691 and I imagine that probably there are a few out there that will give the final a try and share details on how it's done in the upcoming days.

That being said, it actually looks like it could be more of a dicey situation for someone who is new to it all than a dual boot scenario on a PC. (Dual boot set ups can be intimidating, but OpenSUSE makes it pretty straight forward, and I think the chances are less that you'll have any exotic/weird driver issues after the fact, though admittedly I don't know a whole lot about the standard hardware on the PS3.)
