wow, this really is a cool thread.

F11 is not released for another month, so if you have questions maybe the beta forum would be more appropriate. Besides why not run YDL on your PS3, i do and it works like a charm (and ootb) plus it is based on fedora too.

Hi,
I have installed Fedora 11 Preview release on PS3 and it worked.
I use YDL6.1 , too.
Both are really good.

But on Fedora10, Fedora11, Mesa's output image has wrong colors. (gray -> blue etc.)
Is this a bug?

I tried to enable ps3vram as a swap device on Fedora11 (on PS3), and it worked.
It improves the performance in heavy swapping situations.
"ps3vram" is a kernel module which makes the RSX VRAM a storage device.

To use ps3vram as a swap device, add these lines to "/etc/rc.local" and reboot.

mkswap /dev/ps3vram
swapon -p 1 /dev/ps3vram

To check it is working, type "swapon -s" in a terminal.

Have you tried Java on Fedora 11 for PS3?

What kind of Java? Sun, Openjdk, IBM JVM?

Cheers.

I recommend IBM JVM because it's faster than OpenJDK.
