From Klippoth:
I just thought I would let you guys know, not only do I have Fedora Core5 for PPC installed on my Playstation 3, but I actually ran through theboot loader and demonstrated how it works, whilst simultaneously videocapturing the results. I edited it a little bit to reduce redundantframes (frames of just watching a cursor flash) so the whole thing comesin just over 3 minutes. I have posted a low-rez version at Youtube ifyou would like to check it out, and if you believe it to be newsworthy,you can use the high-rez footage I took. Just let me know, I’ll be happyto contribute! (I could also give you my ever-so humble opinion on thewhole Linux-on-PS3 concept, after I have given it a bit more of athorough inspection.)
See the video here on Youtube.
And yes, I am selling it on Ebay, although that was not my original intention. But hearing about people making ten grand…well, let’s just say my love for my PS3 is NOT unconditional. Metal Gear Solid 4 doesn’t come out for another year anyway! (Although it seems that sales for PS3 are starting to slow down…oh well, I can think of worse things to be stuck with!!)
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of benchmark results you can get out of that sucker…. inbetween checking on your eBay auction stats.
Speaking of unique eBay PS3 auctions, Farticus sent in this entry. I guess when you don’t have a hot girl to put her boobs on your console so that your auction stands out, you have to improvise. **Update** Looks like the link is down. But did you really want to see a dude fucking a PS3?
I know you did. Sinner.
uh ohebay entry gone
( o Y o )The Zerg have been found in all types of environments, including deep space. They have adapted themselves to the rigors of space travel, although it is not exactly understood how they are able to do so. The center of a Zerg habitation is the Hatchery. Their nests are composed of a thick organic matter, nicknamed the Creep, which provides nourishment for the Zerg and provides organic mass for Zerg Larvae and Drones to facilitate their transformation into larger forms. The Creep expands and covers the area around the Zerg hive, and is very difficult to eradicate.
Ebay doesn’t understand open-sourceSo, whether you think I’m a noob or an idiot or whatever doesn’t matter at this point. The fact is, Sony expressly designed the PS3 to run Linux – any version, and they say so on thier site http://www.playstation.com/ps3-openplatform/index. html [playstation.com] . We all know that Fedora is open source, and you can sell computers with Fedora installed without a problem. But my auction was cancelled without any notification from Ebay over \”Unauthorized Copies (Copyright)\”. To quote: Dear klipp0th, You recently listed the following auction-style listing: 250051615791 – Playstation 3 PS3 Premium w/ Fedora Linux Installed The listing was removed because it violated eBay policy. All fees related to this listing have been credited to your account. We also notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has been canceled. What kind of crap is that!?! Since when is installing Linux on a system that supports Linux violating copyright? It wasn’t a paid distro, it was a free one…

They’re covering their asses……From any future MS lawsuit regarding their non-existent IP. As far as I’m concerned, to have IP you have to actually \”innovate\” something.
make menuconfigThe Linux kernel provided for the PS2 was asinine — good luck getting ‘make menuconfig’ to actually turn out compilable kernel. How is this any better with the PS3?What about ‘mount /dev/sda /mnt/bluray/’?How are the SPEs accessed? anything like ye olde Connection Machines (e.g. CM-5)?
