Those who intend to install a Linux distribution on a Sony PlayStation 3 will be pleased to learn that Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 is now available for free download. Originally released on 27 November, Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 is a Fedora-based distribution tailored to run on Sony PlayStation 3. It features a graphical installation program and includes the Linux kernel 2.6.16, X.Org 7.0 (3D acceleration not supported), Enlightenment 17 as the default desktop (KDE 3.5.3 and GNOME 2.14 are also available), Firefox 1.5, OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 and other popular open source software applications for desktops, servers, media playback and software development.

YDL is Fedora.

So I can download Fedora now and run it on my PS3, including a fully working and operational E17 environment? Mmm, I must've missed something.

Trolls make less and less sense these days.

Thom, need I remind you...

I could go on...

Then, there is this:

YDL is Fedora and more, but that is what it is. Did Sony officially support YDL any more than any other distribution? It seems YDL tried to give this impression.

Calling the play like it was makes me a troll? That is my opinion and that what this site is for. Your opinions first and ours ??????
