Review of Yellow Dog Linux 5 for Playstation 3
February 19th, 2007 by jamesBlogcritics has a short (and somewhat weak) review of Yellow Dog Linux 5 for the PS3.
The PS3 is designed to run Linux, so as developers start to take more advantage of the PS3’s capabilities no doubt we’ll see some cool stuff coming out running on Linux for the PS3. For a start, it looks like Yellow Dog Linux isn’t bad, although it currently doesn’t support the PS3’s built-in wireless card. Hopefully Sony will release specs or a driver for it soon. I’m looking forward to seeing what sort of developments are ahead for Linux on the PS3 (as well as a price drop for the PS3!) Maybe I’ll end up getting one someday.

I saw the ps3 Gamer’s bundle (includes an extra wireless controller and 2 games) for $749.99 at BestBuy. That’s a saving of about $100 if you try and go buy each components individually. But I agree! Prices must come down from $600 for the 60Gb model. I’d get it if it was under $400 for the console. That’s wishful thinking considering sony’s losing all that money on Blue-Ray!
