Hello,

The main site for opensuse.  You can bittorrent the isos.
http://www.opensuse.org/

The site has a PS3 install page at
http://en.opensuse.org/PS3

The iso images tend not to have all the available packages so you need
to use the repo. I modified a WD MyBook World Edition to be my personal
repo and update mirror since I have several computers running opensuse. 
The Linux in the WD box included ssh and rsync so I rsync updates to the WD.

My favorite mirror site (has rsync as well).
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.3

The opensuse website lists other mirrors.

The cross compile packages I see for Cell SPU processors
cross-spu-binutils   Version 2.17.50.20070726
cross-spu-gcc                        4.3.0
cross-spu-gcc-static              4.3.0
cross-spu-newlib                   1.15.0

There maybe updated versions or other ps3 packages through the opensuse
build service.
