'Sony and Terra Soft make good on the "PC Killer" promise'
'It appears that Harrison's dream is coming true. The PS3 hasn't even been released yet, but Colorado-based Terra Soft has announced a 3rd-party Linux-based operating system for the console. Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 fully supports the PlayStation 3 platform, is built on Fedora Core 5.0 and brings the following to the table:
* kernel 2.6.16
* gcc 4.1.1 and glibc 2.4
* Cell SDK 1.1
* OpenOffice.org 2.0.2
* FireFox 1.5.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.0
* Nautilus 2.14
* Suite of Personal Accessories, Development Tools; Sound & Video, Internet, and
* Networking applications
The operating system will come with an easy to use installer to make installation and breeze. For those that are little more adventurous, a more advanced installer will be available giving users access to over 1,500 packages. According to Terra Soft, Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 is fully sanctioned by SCEI and incorporates code and input from Sony, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Sony Group, and Fedora.'
Wonderfull I will be able to do my homework on a PS3.
