Developing On the PS3 Under Fedora

Posted by Soulskill on from the ignore-the-toy-and-play-with-the-box dept.

An anonymous reader writes to point out the first in a series of articles from a while back about using the Playstation 3 as a development environment under Fedora. Here are the second and third parts of the series. Quoting: "Early on, it was a bit of a challenge to get Linux natively installed on the PS3. Time has passed, and a great deal has changed. Fedora 7 installs on the PS3 out of the box, with the most challenging installation steps eliminated. This article introduces the basic configuration knobs and widgets specific to the PS3 running Linux, shows you how to use them effectively, and suggests the kind of trickery that gets improved performance."

  1. In other news: PS3 is slow as hell by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    IBM sez:

    "PS3 can't run X11 comfortably"

    ??

    I mean come on, what the hell that statement means?
    IBM, the party creators of the Cell chip are telling us
    that the next-gen console is so resource limited
    that can't even handle X11 in decent speed?

    We heard developer complains before (that Cell is a joke),
      but slow X11 ? That is really upsetting.
