Well, I'm guessing the slow speed is because of the servers on the opposite end, but connecting to networks is a pain in the ass. At his house, there were no devices, and at my house, only my computer uses the signal. I can connect at my house, but it will disconnect and reconnect frequently due to poor signal strength; a strength that my computer deals with just fine despite being years older.
Yellow Dog Linux is officially supported, and you can also install Fedora Core 5 on it. Ubuntu is also possible, though it's a lot trickier.
With Windows, the videos you've seen of it running is YDL/FC5 emulating XP. I think OS9 is also possible through emulation, too. OSX is impossible at this point.
I don't have the 60GB, but I've heard numerous things about this too. Example: laptop would get full 5 bars, PS3 would only get 2-3, etc.
Agreed.
Really? I haven't heard anything bad about it (except that it's a ripoff, of course), but from my experience it's perfectly fine.

I assume you are asking about installing Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 on the PlayStation 3? This should help:

Well, there's homebrew, and you pretty much have a fully functioning PC (with OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc). Other than that, I really can't think of anything else.

It looks hard since there's a bunch of long words, but it shouldn't take a rocket science degree.

So I just made like, #65 in the blast factor leader boards.
Very money, 10 mil felt good, I'm hoping to pass that up in the next few days. This game is TOO fun.

Hmm...I don't think YDL will give you access to the GameOS directory, I think it's permissions are locked or something...but I'm positive someone will find a way, if they haven't already.
Then again, you might be able to jump right in em, lol.

Well, If YDL lets you access the other partion of the disc (the PS3 OS) then yes, I guess you could.
But if you cant access it in YDL, then no, you cant access the PS3 OS stuff

Force Feedback works with the DFP with Need For Speed Carbon on the PS3. The lack of FF for PS3 is total B.S. That made the game a little more interesting. I only tested out drift mode.

I'd much rather get a 100GB for $70, and spend the rest of the money on 3+ games.

I think that when the PS3 was sent as "demo" models to some of the gaming places hooked up a 320GB and it showed up!
There are pictures running around here somewhere, ill see if I can find them.
I think they biggest one they make is a 200, but im waiting for someone to prove me wrong.
:::::
In other news, I am going to try to install XP pro sometime next week ( most likely monday seeing as its MLK day here) and ill see what happens
...On the PS3? Don't even try. It won't work.

Im going to try ok.
Keyword: try
Im not going to get a 200 or a 160, but maybe a 120, it seems a little more reasonable
Seeing as I dont have any games right now, games are going to be the first thing, then a controller
I might also think about bring it to my school and hooking it up to the projector via RCA. Playing RFOM in "life size" should be interesting

And I'm telling you that it won't work, so you're not going to waste your time. Unless you want to see what the "Cannot install OS" screen looks like...
