Video of Fedora On PS3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dual-boot dept.

klippoth writes, "I just thought I would let you guys know, not only do I have Fedora Core 5 for PPC installed on my Playstation 3, but I video-captured running through the boot loader to demonstrate how it works. And yes, I am selling the PS3 on Ebay, although that was not my original intention. But hearing about people making ten grand... well, let's just say my love for my PS3 is NOT unconditional. Metal Gear Solid 4 doesn't come out for another year anyway! (Although it seems that sales of PS3s are starting to slow down... oh well, I can think of worse things to be stuck with!!)"

      To have a beowolf cluster Sony would have had to make more than one.

      You'll need to wait until after January to see those kinds of numbers.

    I like how the maroon talking over this is discussing that it is "compiling the kernel" as the fedora boot messages flow past.

    loads KDE quite fast


    How did you figure that out? I saw a Gnome DE but I don't know the calculations to work out KDE from that? Just double the time it takes? ;-)

    But then again, stock certificates don't spontaneously overheat and combust.

    Yeah, tell that to anybody that had stock in Enron.
