thanx chris very informitive…subscribed and went to visit godaddy for the first time because of this ps3 linux vid kickin *** man kudos!
PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!!
on vista theirs this fueture called readyboost and that allows me to use a memery card or a usb flash drive as a ram now is their something like that in linux if their is then its great becouse then i can increase my ram to about 4 gb!
hello i got a few question hopefully u can aswer them lol err can i still play my games can i still type with my pad and install lime wire
this was a lil similar to installing vista on the psp… i wish they would make special OS’s for the playstation
I’m a Mac user and haven’t run into any restrictions as of yet, I am just curious what you’re referring to there.
Thanks Chris, I tested OpenSuSE on PS3, it was about the same result, slow and not very useful.
But I have heard that Yellow Dog can open the blue ray, so you can stream br movies to your network and rip them
Normally I can’t stand lock in, DRM and other restrictions of the owner so I never use windows or mac, but in the PS3 I can accept it since it’s just a toy, nothing that I’m depended on for my daily life. So the question is, do we need linux on a full DRM platform? I think not.
Hi Chris,
what about an episode about installing Linux on PS2?
Check the FAQ of the Distro you installed. if it is PSUbuntu they have a guide on their website for the commands.
what do you got to type to get back to the ps3 start menu?
Sonic, think about it.
What happens to any data on a disk that has been formated?
its nvidia in a ps3 not ati….
yeah i thought it was windows too, i hope they manage to make the ps3 able to run on windows so that people could have a great pc for a lot cheaper than regular versions
You know you can get one of these for free? You’ll need to sign up for a free trial (I suggest netflix) and then get some other people to do it too, I’ve already gotten an xbox 360 from one of these before. Here’s my referral link (remove the spaces!!) ht tp:/ /ps3s. free pay . co m/? r=46451439
Its a OS like winows and mac OS but unline windows it bearly uses any power people can evin get linux running on a Ipod and other MP3 players also it cant do as much as windows and its normaly used for programmers ect
yeah np. but this guy does not know what he is talking about. as of 2007 there is a completely free version of yellow dog that does not run through emulation. the only thing about it, at least that last time I checked, is that you are completely locked from the GPU so you are restricted from 3d gaming. developers are working to unlock it though. so yeah the yellow dog linux is actually what this guy was looking for!!!
oh, oops sorry.
sorry but that is not actually Windows, that is an emulation running through Linux.
Hi Chris i am wondering what i could you Linux for, see i have a 160gb harddrive nd i got nothing to do with it. but is linux like windows? or can i do something good with it?
when u format the ps3 will that delate any music and videos that u have saved
what does linux do?
wow…how big is your tv? lol
tnx for tut
your wrong, sorry. But if you simply just look on youtube, windows does run on ps3
whats the point of getting linux on ps3?
No, the type of CPU in the PS3 Windows can not run on..
-Chris
