 Re: OS as in XP? Yes, when I say "OS" i do mean "operating system" such as Windows or Linux. The only alternate operating system that will work with the PS3 properly is Linux and it is recommended to use the actual distribution that was made for the PS3, Yellow Dog. You can find details about it, along with links to free downloads and how to install, at their web site, Terra Soft -- Linux for PS3, IBM Power, Mercury Cell, and Apple PowerPC. . I would give up on those programs you are trying to move over now as they most likely will not work. As for the Buddies list, if you happen to meet up with some guys in R:FOM (or any other game) you want to hook up with again send them a Buddy Request out of your Friends menu on the XMB. Once they accept you should see them when they are online and see if they are in a game. |

| Re: OS as in XP? You can do pretty much anything you can under Windows or on Mac, with the right applications. Web surfing, IM, image editing, spreadsheets, word documents, etc.- you name it. Linux is an alternative to using the big 2. The plus sides of it are the OS is open source, meaning users are allowed to tweak the system to try improve on what has been done. Also, there is no denying the price is right- completely free. Only thing is using Linux is a bit more "hands on" than Windows or Mac can be, with more command line entry than you normally do. |
