Here's the direct download link for YDL 6.0 (3.7GB):

http://mirror.anl.gov/yellowdog/iso/yellow...VD_20080207.iso

ok so about this linux , i read that in ydl ps3 guide , it says that it is recommended that we give a majority of the partition to ydl , so if i partition it 70gb and 10gb , i am recommended to give 70gb to ydl ? so now my gameos is just 10gb to install demo , game data and whatnot? is that a bit small ? anyone installed this linux on ps3 ? did u guys just give it 10gb for it ? and the rest for gameos ? so many questions . thx in advance for the answers that is going to come in any time soon .

10GB for GameOS is freakin' small. Games like Devil May Cry requires 5GB data installation to PS3 HDD before you can start playing.

Unless you're planning to use PS3 as your full-pledge PC, it's better to allocate bigger partition to GameOS, and 10GB to OtherOS. If 10GB is not enough, you can still use external hard-disk for your Linux.

ps: i'm still working on the demo list. will inform you once completed.

ok thx man , oh i think ive got it covered lah all the demos , i dl and installed already on my own , using the folding@home , read the tutorial on lowyat forum , its easy . thx man ydl also i burn on a dvd to install later on by myself too.

Yellow Dog Linux v6.1 Offers Advanced Cell Experience



"Yellow Dog Linux v6.1 offers an updated Firefox and OpenOffice.org, a vastly improved graphical wireless configuration tool, and the introduction of ps3vram functionality which enables use of PS3 video RAM for temporary storage or swap."

This is the first release of Yellow Dog Linux by new owners, Fixstars. Fixstars acquired Terra Soft Solutions (and their Yellow Dog Linux product) last month."

nVidia still locked their RSX from Linux right?



i might install Linux on my PS3..but need to buy 320g ..or better 500g HDD first

They only allow access to RSX GPU's memory at the moment.

Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 uses the graphics memory of the Playstation 3

"Compared with the previous version 6.0, the new version offers features like IBM's Cell SDK 3.1, Firefox 3.0, and OpenOffice 2.3. On the Playstation 3, the system can for the first time use the RSX GPU's 256MB of memory as a swap partition, which should noticeably enhance the distribution's performance. In addition, the new version features an extended WLAN configuration tool and supports the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's CellSs. The distribution is based on the kernel version 2.6.27, X.org 1.4.999, and xrandr 1.2.2.

Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 is currently available to the registered owners of YDL.net enhanced accounts. A DVD version is scheduled for release in two weeks' time, and a free version to download in four weeks' time."

How much dis space required? Do I need to re-format my PS3 HDD before I can installed this?

Can the movie player play mkv files? I really hope they do.

ya i have same question as above.
right now ps3 cannot read mkv header so i need to re-transcode all mkv to m2ts. if installing linux will solve this problem, i'll give it a go.

can anyone clarify? and the minimum hdd space required. mine has stock 40gb hdd only.

yeah.. i heard someone said it takes 10 minutes to load notepad

bro u try already?

how is playback of HD content under linux, because I'm looking into the possibility of using the PS3 as a linux based htpc.

I just succesfully installed Yello dog linux 6.1 on my ps3.

is anyone using this right now ? video playback on it is not good at all. perhaps i configure it wrongly or something , has anyone succesfully config their ydl 6.1 to play video without ANY problem ?

im using this guide http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Enab...-1-101664.shtml i did get vlc running but then not that satisfactory. the picture when fullscreen is somewhat pixelated a bit and then when i double click on the screen to make it fullscreen , it went blank and just sounds can be hear from the video.

any linux on ps3 sifu here to point to the right direction. i know there is a few here *ahem ninja *ahem comeout

Erm what the fuzz of installing Linux into PS3?
