The latest Linux Journal has a rather mingy article about installing YDL
on a PS3...but it's more like the writer (left anon for a reason) is
complaining that the talking dog cannot speak French.
The unit clearly does a good job as a Linux box, apparently will do HD
(according to posts on this list), but (and a major problem, I think)
the damn thing uses 200 Watts...as someone pointed out, it did a good
job keeping his coffee warm!
