but i dont want to lose my data
Do I need an HDTV for this linux? will i b able to redownload my bought games?
waste your time...
Linux on PS3 is extremely S L O W.
according to some news sources, they say it costs $50.
Linux is free, period.
you buy it from the terasoft website. you can find mirrors around the web if you look hard enough.
Do different Linux distributions of Linux have incompatibiliti es with one another. I know enough to "get by" in Ubuntu in which I'm running right now, but will all my emulators and other stuff work with YDL? I like the changelog for this update but I don't want to screw up what I have with Ubuntu.
get a external or somthin go to backup utility format or replace Hdd partition install done
Yes and no for the HDTV (sadly). You can also install it using your monitor, but you need HD for install. Still, without HD screen you can install using the test install (a pain in the...).
For the bought games, yes you can redownload them for free (dah). When you buy a game, it's yours. You can see the icon change in the store. Try downloading it and you'll see, it'll download without asking anything, even without the funds, lol.

"ps3vram for fast, temp file storage or swap using PS3 video RAM. "
This is great! Now we have access to the RAM of the video card! Double the amount of RAM! hell yeah!
(Notice that this does NOT mean we have access to the GPU, YET)
anyone have this yet?
is says public mirrors sometime next month (go december). Oddly enough post was done in ydl from my ps3. linux as it is not unconfigured is a little slow/choppy. though i imagine with the cell processor sdk thinggy it would run margenably better. and updated would be a good thing. look hard enough at electronics stores (and i am not talking best buy circuit city or any retailer like that i mean the mom and pops kinda electronics store) and you should finda a cable that goes from hdmi to dvi no probs.
Very soon, my chillins, very soon...we will have RSX access. With this comes an amazing linux platform, and games to follow. Programming...all of it. The joy's of the RSX. I can't wait.
