[QCLUG] ps3 released linux running on day 1

[Noah J Norris]

	videos on you-tube of linux booting on ps3 already , according to what i have 
read its supports all hardware including full use of cell but only frame 
buffer video ( they will need to change that no access to the rsx nvidia 
unit) linux runs under a hyperviser and has some restricted access of course 
but has full abitly to mount cd-rom , dvd, bdrom and full access to usb. im 
thinking that the rsx is not inabled by default is so specs are not known 
intill a latter date and when it does im sure it might be in a layer or 
binary form which i wouldnt care opengl would be nice  though. 

	so its a 3.6 ghz cell with 196 mb ram ( 64 mb for ps3's os / hypervisor )
also has the ps2 hardware ( unknown wiether it can be accessed ) i suspect the 
rsx will be enabled under linux with an update. the framebuffer image shows 2 
tuxs (hyperthreading of the ppc 64 bt core ) 

	 well when ever they have more i might get one need a new computer / toy 

	and if all else theres always gigabit ethernet to a remote x-server that has 
opengl i guess , or running mesa under a spe or spe's . well if anyone wants 
a cheap render farm a stack of ps3's should work nicely 

note the framebuffer does support 480I, 480P , 720I ,720 1080I , 1080P
plus some moniter ranges
