Later in the article, a poster suggests this...
And why were you not using the new Yellow Dog 6.1 distro for PS3? It's fully supported and fully utilizes the Cell processor. Here's where to get it and how to install/use it! Way better than Ubuntu IMHO. Get it![us.fixstars.com] Install it! [us.fixstars.com] Get SixAxis working!

PS3 Ubuntu install for emulation. Gizmodo has done us all a favor by wading through many forum posts and condensing them into a handy guide to installing Ubuntu on your Playstation 3. It covers some of the caveats of going this route. You have to backup all of your game data before starting since the system repartitions the drive. Ubuntu installs without any problem, but because the cell processor is a PowerPC architecture it means not everything has been ported to it. There are a few things you need to install to get the Sixaxis controller to be recognized as a joystick. Super Nintendo emulator SNES9X is available and works, mostly. It doesn't support fullscreen and cries if you reconfigure the buttons. http://i.gizmodo.com/5143547/how+to-install-ubuntu-on-your-ps3-for-vintage-g aming-emulation _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
