Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PS3

[Cap'n 1time]

Ok the reason behind the linux comment I made above was this.

1) Sony is an evil, large corporation. The linux community has never cared for that too much.

2) It's almost certain this will be some ****ed up Sony twisted version of linux (not illegal, but totally lame)

Also the other problem being that probably the first thought many people have had is (OMG IM GOING TO COMPILE X EMULATOR) and as sony isnt a real good friend of either nintendo or sega thoes companies may very well go after them.. but who will they be going after? no, not the ps3 hardware, linux, thus providing sony with a sheild (it isnt our fault, its the users type thing). I see this as Sony Abusing the opensouce community and the yellow dog crew either falling into their stupid little trap, or selling out. Also keep in mind it is about 100x more likely that nintendo will go after other consoles emulating its older library of games due to the wii's up and coming ability to purchase and play its older games.

As soon as you type crap like that i don't bother reading the rest of you post. Evil? Get real.. just as evil as Microsoft, Nintendo and any other huge company that has shareholders to appease and profits to make. It's just as bad as the idiots who keep typing M$ when mentioning Microsoft.

Selling out? Get real mate, their not selling out. They've got their big chance and they've taken it. Whats wrong with the money they're going to make?

And screw what the Linux community stands for, its one of the worst on the internet.

The linux community is becoming one of the fastest growing and most productive communities of all time. It has been confirmed by people smarter and more intelligent then you or I that technology produced for or with the linux ideals in mind are changing the face of the earth [for the good] and how we see technology. The only reason one would say somthing like "screw them and what they stand for" is due to the fact they they have no idea how much it actually does effect technology, business, and yes even commerce.

you are sort of twisting my words, but not on purpose. When I say "evil" it is with the idea that proprietary software is "evil". Its often used in more of a humor sense than a literal one. (see googles famous slogan "Don't Be Evil".

Linux, while a very useful tool of the corporations at times, hasn't done to well in the past when they officially team up with them. A great example of that being novell's hook up with suse. As for the sell out statment, I cant remember what point I was making but really what there isnt much to putting together a distrobution. What really separates the distributions is management, and having a tight community. Thats what has made Debian and now Ubuntu king.

Haha productive community? "DOWN WITH M$" "d00dz m$ is liek bad" "linux is teh sexorz"
By the way, I'm not denying its a good OS, I've used it plenty before, I'm just saying some of the community are complete idiots.

I think you can say that about every community...

but i agree with CAPTAIN AWESOME, Linux is becoming more popular and rightly so

In that respect, I agree, but that is the portion of the community that are under the age of 14 and know very little about anything. And forgive me for twisting your words but you said something along the lines of screw everything they stand for. even the morons that stay stupid $#@! like "DOWN IWHT M$ DOOD!" are (without their actually knowing so) standing for something that is ultimately good on a global scale. Sadly the more intelligent community doesnt take the time to explain to these more uneducated masses (the ones you are refering to) why linux is more than just a os, but a global movment... and also that using alpha numeric slang is retarded and is destroying the internet
