Xubunto 8.10 on Ps3

    Howdy,

    I'm a complete newb at Linux. But as my home computer just packed in. Rather than buy a new one I'd set up a partition on my ps3.

    So I had a quick google about and I settled on xubunto (sic?). So burned it's iso to a disk and booted her up. Very easy. No problems.

    Now that it's installed I ve mo idea what to do. Firstly the resolution is crap. So I tried to fix it with ps3videomode -v etc etc but that doesn't seem to work. It's so bad that if I look at the screen for more than five mins I start to feel a bit dizzy. How do I rectify this problem. Is it the tv or should I wipe it and try a new distribution? Is xbunuto a difficult one to work etc etc. I really am lost at sea here. Funnily I thought the installation would be the hard part.

    Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

    i say you just went with the wrong distro
    YDL was designed for specifically ps3
    ive tried it, (ydl6 last year) and tbh linux doesn't really work on ps3, it doesn't get enough access to the hardware, i wouldn't recommend it to replace a pc or laptop,

    but i now see on the website ydl 6.2 is out since last month
    do tell us how it is, maybe it has improved
    :D
