Star Yellow Dog Linux Announced for Playstation3
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 16th Oct 2006 22:13 UTC, submitted by mike hess
Games Yellow Dog Linux 5 has been announced. Surprisingly, it will first be released for Sony's Playstation 3, and then later for PPC Macs. Yellow Dog Linux 5 for the Playstation 3 will use E17 as its desktop environment (YDL's page on E17), which will be a boost to E17's adoption rate. Sony had mentioned the PS3 would include Linux in some capacity, but it has been unclear how Linux would fit into the rest of the system.

I'm wondering whether they chose E17 for technical reasons (less RAM?) or just for the look and feel.
