Free Linux distro turns PS3 into light-duty server (LinuxDevices)
LinuxDevices looks at a
server-oriented Linux distribution for Sony's Playstation3. "
Helios describes its PS3 distro as a version of TerraSoft's Yellow Dog Linux (YDL) for the PS3 that has been simplified and optimized for use as a server OS. The simplifications are said to result in 40 percent more RAM available for server applications. Optimizations include AppleTalk support in the kernel, and a Java 1.5 environment pre-installed." A press release is available from HELIOS.
