Ever since it was confirmed that PS3 will be supporting Linux, the homebrew community rejoiced at the possibility of running 'brew on Sony's next-gen console. So when PS3 was launched and the Linux Addon CD (plus the OtherOS installer) was released as well, everybody knew that we are but steps away from having Linux (and all that Linux represents, of course) on the PS3. And soon enough, we were able to provide PS3 users with full installation instructions for Fedora Core 5 (but take note that any PPC Linux distro can be installed) on the PS3.
What everybody's been waiting for though is Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 - and we've got stuff for you here!
Yep, the latest version of Terra Soft's YDL has been confirmed for the PS3 and everybody's been on the lookout for its release. We already got details on what it's going to offer and how it's going to be installed. Now we're pretty sure not every PS3 user was lucky enough to have downloaded the distro (from YDL.net) last November 26, but we have here the next best thing - pictures!
Japanese site FIXSTARS has posted images of YDL v5.0 booted on a PS3. While it doesn't show much - just the welcome sign, terms of agreement, settings, and login windows - at least we can now all see what the hype is all about. Don't be shy, click on the thumbnails to get a better view... you just might find yourself wishing it was already December 11 (when you can finally purchase the distro's DVD in stores) or the week of Christmas (when Install and Source ISOs can actually be downloaded via public mirrors)!

because if it's the same and if what digitalkid said is true, I don't see why we should install this!!
anyway, I'm going to buy my ps3 in january ( around the 6th ) so I suppose all those questions will be answered.
I also hope that, by then, we'll even have some homebrew
( and arrange the psx emulator for linux :D, that would be soo cool
ps: just hoping mistwalker will do multi-console ( port their games on the ps3

Highly unlikely they'll release anything else, "because" it's a PS3 running linux. There is no graphic support for the Linux on PS3 which means they'll never get the awesome graphics on the Linux side, and the limitations of the ram in the ps3.
BluRay ripping would be an option, but then again.. Who's going rip and burn blurays at 25-30bux a pop? When u can buy a movie at that price.. Games.. well.. We'll just see about that..
And if you're asking if it runs any FASTER? In what aspect did u mean? They both surf they internet at the same speed, the both launch their applications at pretty much the same speed. Install wise, it's a little more interesting than FC5, but basically they're both linux.. Unless YDL5 and it's team can show us something unbeliveable.. They're pretty much the same.
