This the same as my first vid of Fedora Linux on the PS3, but for all those with questions, I decided to do a version of the video with full voiceover explanations. And Ebay believes installing open source software on an open platform (as is stated on Sony's site) is a "copyright violation". Apparently they don't understand open source...so my auction of this unit was cancelled without notification. Thanks, Ebay...

Jul 26, 2008 - Seems interesting, but I can already see that 256MB RAM does take it's tool. Slow icon loading in menus for example. The boot procedure was a bit slower than my 1.4GHz Pentium M processor, which is a bit disappointing. I guess that we will have to wait until someone will actually optimise Linux to be run on the PS3 (points at Yellow Dog).

Jul 26, 2008 - I'm having enough issues with hardware, I think that would make the whole thing just smoke and burn. As it is, I can't change resolution, get sound, or mount the CD drive

Jul 26, 2008 - Haha, I was going to say the same thing. He's also running startx as root. bad n00b! (hits him over the head with rolled up newspaper)
klippoth Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - So, apparently Ebay doesn't know what "open source" nor "open platform" mean, and they don't do any homework before they cancel your well-publicized auction for unfounded "copyright violations". Sony promotes the ability to install Linux. Fedora promotes its installation on any and everything for free. But apparently Ebay doesn't care...

Jul 26, 2008 - This video is a perfect example of what you get for a 600 dolar ps3 computer. My 1996 imac boots faster than that. Yeah its a ps3 that its running on, but seriously.here's how it goes down...wii>X-360>Ps3. Im out.Also whats up with the 600*800 like res?
Omicronga Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - you might as well use the ps3 for paper weight if you're putting any mac os on it, shit for brains...it would be just as useful
Omicronga Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - So what you're saying is you're a 5 year old who doesn't comprehend the obvious advantages of linux on a ps3?
Omicronga Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - lol sad to hear.
