Hey,
Just put Yellow Dog on my PS3 and although I think it's amazingly cool to have a fully functional PC sitting "inside" my games console, I'm a bit peeved at how slow the OS feels; most probably owing to the paltry 256MB of RAM.
What I'm wondering is if there any any other Linux distros which are pre-loaded with drivers for the PS3's BD drive, Wifi, Sixaxis, HD res fixes etc. etc. Whilst I do appreciate that PS3 Linux is a rather specialist area, I would have thought the fact that it is a standardised hardware base would make it a good target for a customised release.
Something like a custom built version of Xubuntu would be amazing. I'm a total Linux beginner, unwilling to try it on my PC, but would love to experiment on my PS3 - if only it was a bit faster!!
Cheers,
Suman
P.S. Failing that, could anyone point me in the right direction on how to slim down Yellow Dog so it runs more efficiently?
