WHY IT RULES
Linux Yellow Dog-for techies the most intresting feature of the playstation 3 was the fact that it ran on the open source Linux operating system.And whant's more,sony executives encouraged developers to build Linux distros for the product!
TerraSoft(Now Fixstars)was among the first to take up the challenge,releasing a fully-functioning version of the popular Yellow Dog Linux for the ps3.
Many enthsiasts quickly loaded the OS onto the console and were amazed at
how well it ran.If you connected up a keyboard and a mouse.the ps3 could very easily function as a full-fledged PC!
Of course,YellowDog has still not been able to take full advantage of the eight cores of the cell processor,and hence the 256MB RAM seems a bit weak at times.But the guys at fixstar continually updating the software to take full advantage of this mighty processor.
