I think the lawsuit was with PS3, not PS2.

It was the PS3 that got support removed, the PS2 Linux support kept around for the entire live, and the Japanese exclusive BB system that the PS2 got is based around it

Yeah I believe the PlayStation OS at the time got hacked by another OS that they allowed to be installed.. so they said well shit we can't have nice things. I used to have Yellowdog running on mine

I've only ever met one person who was familiar with Yellowdog, let alone what yum means.

If I remember correctly yum was the "apt" as in sudo yum install ... Should work. Think it stood for yellowdog update (manager?). Unsure.
