Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and also to the world of YDL/Linux.
The reason why I'm using my PS3 and YDL is that I have due to some private reason a little money problem...
So I had to sell my beloved MacBook (Aluminium one from late october 08) and to use my PS3 instead of it since I recognized that I could do all the things for my requirements with it, too.
After two weeks with YDL I have to say that the PS3 with YDL absolutely fullfills my everyday needs. Sometimes less is more and so I really don't think that I need an expensive Computer like a MacBook or a Windows-PC ever again so long as I can do all my tasks with YDL+PS3
The basic usage of YDL work fine for me, installation went fast and free of errors. After that the IT technician in me went from inside out and I soon started, also thanks to this hilarious people in this forum, to try out some of the great possibilities with YDL!
After a lot of hours in research, try+error and reading through a lot of threads in this forum I've got my YDL 6.1 well configured with Fluxbox, SNES9X, ScummVM, Audacious, Wireless Networking over Wicd and WPA, VLC media player and so on. I've also activated the ps3vram, cleaned up the mess of installed rpms and suited them to fit my needs. Only thing I miss like most of you is a suitable substitution for Flash, but for now I couldn't be happier to sit in front of my 37" philips full hdtv while using YDL 6.1 and try out new things everyday. I love it!
If I'm not on YDL then my PS3 is, of course, used for gaming (actually PoP, Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and more...), music playback, watching my photo library and viewing DVD/Blu-ray as well as, *ahem*, DivX movies
Sorry for this long, first post but after being such a long time passive I had to spread the word
Again, THANKS to all the great people in this forum for the help and the gorgeous Tutorials etc.!!
Greetings
Aeuniko
