[plug] Linux on PS/3?

[Ronald Jones]

Hello,

I am giving the PS3 demonstration at iVEC.

As Dion said Yellowdog has a nice distro and it is the simplest we  
found to install. It is the one we use.

FC is the best to set up the Cell Simulator in. Use the 32 bit version  
of FC and the Cell Simulator stuff installs without a hitch.

cheers,

Ron
