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.

Graphics is excellent as well, but not exposed to linux from the hypervisor - shame on you Sony . . but at least they let us use the memory :-) And oh the BD player, is considered among the best at all - thanks to easy upgradability. Another observation - PS3 supports HDMI 1.3a - which should make it able to power on your TV when you power on your playstation. Of course I was not observant of this, and my TV is only 1.3, hence this feature does not work - arghhhh. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
