    changing HDDs is hard work!

    I finally reinstalled my PS3 with YDL 6.0 on a 320 GB HDD!
    I don't own a LCD-TV with HDMI, but the HDMI->DVI cable works fine with my 24" monitor

    I killed three screwdrivers to change the 40 GB HDD to a 320 GB one I had to drive to my grandfather for additional tools, now I owe him two screwdrivers After putting the HDD into a bench vise I managed it to get the last screw away to replace the disk

    But now the dnetc-client is up and running again. Later I'll do some testing with samba and vnc and then make it headless again and put it back into the cabinet.

    sorry, I forgot

    my mobilephone doesn't make that good pictures and my digicam need full charged batteries five minutes ago I wanted to make pictures for you but the camera said "empty batteries"

    I'll give you some later that day...

    BTW: vnc sucks, with Mandriva or Debian I got better results after 5 minutes of work

    OK, after editing the ~./vnc/xstartup to the content a Mandriva has, it works beautiful, now I get something to see I'm used to...

    That looks nice. I just use ssh myself. More memory for the DNET clients that way.

    The PS3 has really not much memory, 256 MB RAM and I think 256 MB for graphics, but the dnet client doesn't need that much, only a few MBs...

    Running Azureus for Bittorrent I can forget, because the supplied java version is not matching to the one Azureus would need, and on java.com you can't download a suitable version

    So my Linux experience after that few trials is: very slow! for running just dnetc or other distributed computed clients it is ok, but if you want to do more: use a real machine with memory!
