Finally got the chance to install linux onto my PS3... it's running so much faster than my computer. Supposedly 2 of the processors are running in linux. Anyways, I just wanted to show off a good 6 hours of work put into my PS3 so far. Tommorow I need to setup my Media Server so I can watch movies and listen to music or upload images from my PC strictly into the PS3 OS. On linux, so far I have no problem listening to mp3s, watching blueray, dvd format, surfin the net, downloading files, chatting on IRC and GAIM. The only real problem I'm having is Flash. It only plays version 7 flash, which sucks because websites like youtube have certain flash options that can't be accessed, like the pause/play button and rewind/fast forward. Best of all, my linux recognized my Samsung blue tooth ear piece and my Motorola ear piece (that ones for my phone) so I can speak in chatting programs that allow voice chat. Also recognized my wireless printer, mouse, keyboard, and PSP. The next update on my PS3 will be adding a 300GB internal hard drive and an additional 1TB external hard drive specifically for music and movies that will be ported. The biggest project right now for linux on PS3 is compiling a better flash player, supporting 5.1 Dolby Digital instead of DTS 5.1. And finally hacking the PS3's video card in order to make new changes in the settings so us Linux users can fnally install Beryl/Compiz and get full advantage of the processing power of the PS3 w/Linux. Anyways, enjoy :P
Reason for edit: Good for you about Linux, but please thumb in the future. - Cristy

You make me want a PS3 with Linux right now. All those specs sound sexy and I don't know shit about computers. Any chance you'll replace the regular PC with your PS3? It's like an all in one guy machine. |
