fox123 Posted 5 May 2008 Author Posted 5 May 2008 Wth is it? From the Yellow Dog website S o n y P S 3 Not just a game box, the Sony Computer Entertainment PLAYSTATION®3 with Yellow Dog Linux is the most exciting personal computer to hit the market in years. Terra Soft offers the PS3™ with Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed as a low cost, home and office personal computer and Cell Broadband Engine development workstation. As the Cell processor inside the PS3 is built from the same foundation as that found in the high-end Mercury and IBM Cell products, the PS3 makes for an ideal Cell development workstation with Yellow Dog Linux, the Cell SDK, and optimization tools from RapidMind and Mercury --all available from Terra Soft Solutions. Link Basically turns your PS3 into a shit hot media centre! You can do everything on the PS3 that you can do on a PC and more!

Try here But I reckon that if you are unsure about doing it the answer is no, don't do it...but this guide makes it seem a doddle.

Seems it needs to be hooked up to a Hd TV, only have one of those in the bedroom not in the living room yet! Think I might leave it for a bit then, but be nice to make full use of it rather than just using it as a games console!

Personally, if I wanted a second computer/media centre in the house I'd buy a second computer to act as a media centre. Which I did. Well, a fourth one.
