刚发现Redhat公司的FC6是支持Cell BE的(PS3上安装FCdvdiso的官方说明在第3页)

关键在于能不能在PS3的这个Linux下直接编译目前流行的各种Linux应用。

这个的确是一个比较重要的事情，没开源只能指望厂商发布了。
开源的估计编译起来会费翻周折，要是想充分利用Cell处理器还需要重写。
不过现在还不错的是YDL里已经编译好了2248个程序包了。

理论上来说Cell可以兼容ppc程序，不过实际问题应该很多。

JeffChen，几乎可以肯定FC6 dvdiso甚至其他的任何Linux ppc版都是可以安装的。
下面的这个是sony 官方的 fc5在ps3上的安装说明.

在这个地址里可以找到有用的工具和文档
http://www.powerdeveloper.org/playstation.php

不过和YDL的区别至少是需要去IBM的网站单独下载Cell SDK才能用于开发(据了解还没人在fc6上build成功过 )
性能估计也应该会比YDL差上一些。

sony的Cell programming guide 是根据YDL5写的。
觉得还是装YDL5先熟悉下效率高些。

我就是因为这个，决定一定要买台ps3，是所谓的cell饭？
不过现在真的很贵耶。

没驱动，出了FC7也没用，还是老老实实用黄狗吧

OK.

那等PS3到了我就做白鼠了。不过考虑找个新硬盘装，原配的就不搞了。

另外等了这么多天都没人试试看直插220V，真的有点失望，看来白鼠又将是我了。哎……
