bear also in mind it is a 4200rpm laptop disc (and rumor has it, that if you upgrade it to a really good disc, the PS3 overheats).
Hmmm. Hadn't heard that. I had been debating on a PS3, but I can build a Core2 based machine with more RAM for cheaper. I don't really game. However, I am debating on BD, and that may finally push me to it. Myself, I'd hack the case and add fans....
Even with this, you start firefox, and some Yast module, then hit swap, and coffee again.
That's not very encouraging. If I picked up a PS3, I'd have to run
linux on it. YaST unfortunately wants to install all kinds of stuff
no matter how you try to cut down your install. I used a SuSE Studio
disk created for me that was really cut down, and when I ran the
software management app, it tried to install basically the default
install. Took forever to taboo all that crap, and then I ended up
having to install off of the DVD anyway because I screwed something
up.
I really wish there was a Damn Small Linux type distro for the PPC.
I've looked into trying to make one, but I don't have the time(or
patience probably). I've got a bunch of old macs that don't like the
new versions of the current distros very much. I recently put SuSE
7.3 on one of my Powerbooks(thanks again to a fellow list person) and
it was so much faster than 11.0. And everything worked right away.
Oh well.
