Well if you can run Linux on the PS3 it would put Homebrew at the top of the best features of the PS3.

» homebrew on ps3 and it sells perfect
I mean, running an xbox emulator, a PS1/2 emulator (running from disc or simply the ISO ) and all the other emulators alone would be GREAT! I mean, what's the fuss about the NES/SNES/MGDRIVE emu the wii gets ( you even have to pay to download new games like 5$ ) when the ps3 get all the emulators without having to pay for it? lol

Yellow Dog is one of the many variations of linux.
What's Linux?
A completely different operating system that's essentially designed for progamming... it's just awesome, you can probably get a load of PC games to work with the right programs installed on Linux

» Yeah
You could either try to figure out WineX which creates a windows directory and registry, DirectX games don't run too well but OpenGL games run better on linux than windows. Also there is Cedega which figures everything out for a monthly fee(kind of a really wierd structure for such a service, but they are the only ones so they can charge however they want). You download updates so you can play the latest releases.

» I hope so!
I really hope it comes out and is easy to install and work with.
I hope my apple bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse work with it / ps3.... wow that would be nice!
Seems like you might need to partition that hard drive so that part can be proprietary ps3 stuff like gamesaves and demos etc, and a partition for the linux os,.... I dont know how that all works..
What is the deal with the ps3 HD anyhow, can i pop it out and slap a 500GB in there? Will the wireless networking work with Linux? What kind of HD is the 20 and 60gbs?
I have always said "wow we are paying so much money for basicly a computer, it should run windows for that price!" well i hope this become a reality, but either way Im getting one anyways.
Long Live the King, Long Live Sony.
Wii + 360 + PS3 = one heck of a good winter.

I bet you're right about partitioning, and i can imagine the keyboard and mouse will work.
Also, the PS3 HD can be upgraded with any HD, as long as it's laptop sized and not normal sized.

» But
They only mention that it will be available on the same day the PS3 launches, there isn't anything that I could find on their site that led me to believe that it would be installed on the system when you bought it; however it appears that they are only charging 50 bucks for the OS. Not free like other linuxes, but not over 250 dollars either.

» prob free
It will probably be free if you download it, the 50 bucks should just be if you want to order a hardcopy with a case, instruction manual, and probably advanced support and autopatching. I also found this interesting... http://www.hpcwire.com/hpc/967146.html
they talk about using ps3 to create 2 new supercomputer clusters (could this be where some of the PS3 shortages are coming from?)

What? Actually I'm very well read. I'm pretty sure sure that you meant to say that I didn't read carefully; however, this couldn't be further from the truth. You are correct that "a free download" does appear in the text verbatim, but it isn't talking about the OS. If the statement was refering to the entire OS then that would contradict their and I quote "3-phase product roll-out." Also if you look in the YDL store the distro without support is 49.95+shipping; besides it would be dumb to charge only for a hardcopy, because profit margins are higher on digital distribution and no worry about buying materials and packaging(besides that you can have Ubuntu shipped to you for $0+shipping). So anyway the "a free download" to which you so eloquently referred only applies to product updates. In essence you did not read carefully.

Because OS X is the best OS I saw in my entire life! ( 21 years old ). Windows is crap ( at least if you cannot install PC games on it ), linux is okay, but nothing spectacular or really special ( but to emulate mac OS X lol ) but tiger is special, you really need to try it for yourself, but after you tryed, you cannot let go... it's sooo beatifulll.... ps: i love mac, but it cost too much for me, so the ps3 really is a bargain after all, lol. a computer and a console combine with a cd/dvd/BD player that output HDMI and also ( for the higher end wich I won't buy ) a media card reader and wireless device ( to plug wireless keyboards, mouse, psp, etc )

That is exactly what a processor's virtualization features solve. If you mean that either OS won't recognize the SPUs; it doesn't matter because the PPE is practically a POWERpc processor, and could run either Mac OS.

» yeah maybe, but the program emulate mac OS on linux
so I suppose we do not need mac hardware becaise it's anyway more simple to dual-boot then to emulate. But emulate give you two OS at the same time?
anyway, maybe it won't work, but I'm pretty sure I will work perfect! Because emulation in on "working" OS hardware, so MAC think he's alright on hardware, even if he's not. And I suppose the PS3 is better then a normal powerPC anyway, so I'm pretty sure It'll work! this is looking so great! hoping a lopt on this#

» OSX
Yes after hearing that Yellow Dog Linux would install on a PS3 I was very curious about installing OSX. For powerpc mac users yellow dog linux was the only option for a while.
I didnt know about running osx under yellow dog fullspeed. wow that would be nice
so i guess my wireless bluetooth keyboard would probably work under osx. i hope they work (or other bluetooth keyboards) work with the ps3 right away too, for the web browser and stuff.
What i have seen from Sony is they say a lot of things are possible, and then if we are lucky we see these things like 5 years later... i hope its soon tho i gota launch ps3 coming!!!!!!!!

You could maybe get Windows on top of VMware on top Yellow Dog - But as is already mentioned, the hardware may cause issues.
It would be interesting to see how fast Windows would run (even with the linux/vmware layers dragging down the performance slightly). But i can't think of a really could reason to have windows on PS3?

» Mac OSX on PS3.... hmmm...
I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of Sony right now (the actions agains Lik-Sang pushed me over the edge with them). However, seeing as I am a user of Mac OS X (I have a Power Mac G5 and a MacBook Pro), I know how nice the operating system is, even when you have to pay a premium for hardware to use it. Being able to have another fully capable Mac OSX computer to work with would be wonderful, and only having to pay $600 (for the 60GB version) would make it sweet (just partition it for the minimum space needed to install and add an external HDD). However, I have a feeling that any version Apple might release for the PS3 would be priced more than just a standard computer version, but I guess either way, only time will tell...
