[QCLUG] yellowdog linux coming to the ps3 ???

[Noah J Norris]

yellowdog linux 5  is coming to ps3 to be released sometime in mid-november 

i think it will be neat to have a ps3 running lnux . wonder if i will mess 
with linux or play games mostly on it .... 256 mb main ram and 256 mb video 
ram  , cell processor  all ps2 hardware (chip and video) and special nvidia 
card Rsx   with hdmi outputs, 4x usb 2.0 ports  , bluetooth ,wifi and memory 
card slots , hard drive 

yes and if theres driver support .... it would be a nice pc replacement 

either there will be no access to the blueray drive or via hardware  will 
block ps3 games from being seen and blue ray disks ... or we might see a 
linux client to watch them ..... not holding my breath though ....

also a note seems yellowdog works with ibm with there cell blade servers and 
special projects for research groups.using the cell processor, they also 
support ppc processors which cell is a bassed on .

a $600 pc thats also a standalone gaming box , yes i know you can say you can 
build a pc for 600 or cheaper , but not a full blown gaming pc .

i still think that microsoft could be hurt very badly if sony included linux 
on the ps3 at launch or sortly after , it would send that massege that 
windows is not the only operating system in the universe you can wakeup now . 
oh you can install this on that pc too . its stable , what no viruses , what 
no DRM . OMG no spyware ... stop lying  its free ..
