Running Linux on PS3

Just now finished installing YDL5.0.2 on my PS3 and started writing this log. Installation , I must say was flawless. It picked up my wireless keyboard/ mousepad. Configurimg wi fi was a piece of cake. Dont want give the technical details here as there is ton of information all ver the place..

Few disappointments

1. Its not as fast as I had expected. May be its emulation or whatever technical crap ..it same as Mandrake 10.2 running on my 1997 Celeron . ...well ..slightly better

2. Flash 9.00 is still not available for power pcs ..so my son couldn't play his pokemon stuff

3. Enlightenment crashed multiple time ..


The overall concept is pretty good .. you can have a fulll blown gaming thing and a full blown desktop in less than 1000 bucks .. and it doubles up as hig hdef TV too .. I think its ghell of a pace saving and make sense. It might take another six months and few more upgardes for PS3 to arrive ...but sure it will ..
