[Liverpool] distros etc

[Stephen Mount]

Once again - I've considered putting YDL on my PS3 but never got round  
to it!

Also - that's just madness regarding the £10K kit. It's a shame - I  
guess the other guy got the bargain though. I recently sold a 6-weeks  
macbook (early 2009) for £570 whereas I paid £670 for it. Just  
couldn't deal with the 13" screen at all. I have a 17" MBP and that's  
good as I can take it anywhere and it's pretty much a desktop  
replacement!

I read Ubuntu PPC version works on the PS3 and might do that. The  
message that comes up that says hi you need to format your disk scared  
me originally when I bought it ;-) (this was xmas so jobs had finally  
died down!)
