No offense to YDL, but every time I have ever installed it on my Macs, it was just broken. I use Ubuntu on 4 machines and it too has some drawbacks and limitations but nothing that prevents me using it. I cannot say the same for YDL. There was always something that was, in my mind, critical enough for me to wipe it back out and reload OS X. In all fairness to Terrasoft though...this would probably be taken care of if Apple would be a little less restrictive with its hardware designs. As for the Sony PS3; if YDL has been working with them so long to get this working, then I don't see any reason for things like framebuffer-only video mode and the inability to play or rip CD's.

"With YDL v5.0, the PS3 is fully supported with the exception of the NVIDIA graphics card (see note on Graphics).
You will require a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and USB drive ('thumb', 'jump', or drive) or memory stick (Sony, SD, Compact Flash) in addition to a PC or Mac from which you will download and transfer the bootloader and bootloader installer to the PS3. Details of this process are given in the YDL v5.0 Guide to Installation.
The Nvidia graphics card is not supported beyond framebuffer mode. This does does not reduce the quality of the image, but does not provide accelerated video nor OpenGL support.
At this time, system sound and .ogg files are fully functional. However, neither playing nor ripping audio CDs functions. Stay tuned for updates ..."
