GDC 2007: Terra Soft barks Yellow Dog Linux-PS3 |
Ó
Call it the video 411 on YDL-4-PS3. He shows off YDL running off the console, including its applications - and comparing the PS3 to some high-end IBM systems (thank goodness then IBM's part of the Cell team, right?). Yep, this inty is all about geeking out on processor specs (as we sure a few geeks here will, soon enough). Well, this is what you get when Sony wants their PS3 to push it at any cost:

Oh the PS3 has 9 cores now...LMAO
What will be very sweet is if the internal Wifi card of the PS3 was usable on YDL !!! No chance I pull cables everywhere in my house...
Where the hell are the wireless drivers. I spent time and money keeping my setup pretty and the wireless card is still not open. DAMN YDL!!!
ok so if/when they access the video card ill be able to run my pc games on there
There are 9 cores in the cell processor. Theres a PowerPC main general purpose core, then there are 8 specialized cores.
Here's some education material for you:

I wish people would do a little research before posting stuff in boards. Google is an awesome tool....USE IT.
Yellow Dog Needs to punch Adobe in the d1ck and get a PPC Linux Flash app working.
There is a request form at Adobe's web page so if you want Flash, fill it out.
When will they get the internal WiFi working!!
yeah i want to know that too.
Linux BLOWS! Nobody cares about an OS that's held together with spit and duct-tape. I'd rather hammer a 6 inch steel pipe into my skull, than put Linux on my PS3. (And yes, I've been using Linux at work for 4 years now. It's TERRIBLE!)
If we had the ability to have Mac's OS then it would be a different story.
I am sure that Sony is really interested in getting some drivers and such for the nvidia gpu. I think that will open up a lot of options. Although I have seen quite a few people trying to play Runescape on YDL - it's not a hardware intensive game.
Btw, when they say they will be able to play 3d accelerated games - they won't be able to play windows games. I highly doubt that happening.
If it does - I would turn a ps3 into my racing simulation box instead of my pc. But, emulating windows then trying to run a PC game is killer on a system processor wise - the optimization would need to be ground breaking for anyone to play Command and Conquer 3 PC on YDL.
