I installed yellow dog on my ps3 and it worked pretty good. Support for the wireless controllers pretty much out of the box, and it ran my SNES emulater pretty well. I was not able to get sound working, but granted, I spent all of 20 minutes on it. <br>
<br>It was simple, other than having to boot back and forth, but it was more effort than it was worth, once I got DLNA running from inside the sony OS.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 12:36 AM, David Champion <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave@dchamp.net">dave@dchamp.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I ran it some when I first got my PS3, it wasn't too exciting. The<br>
biggest problems I had with it were the lack of memory (256mb usable)<br>
and the GPU is crippled by the hypervisor so you can't use 3D acceleration.<br>
<br>
If you gave it enough memory, and unlocked the GPU, it would run fine.<br>
There are Cell based workstations available that don't have those<br>
limitations.<br>
