I saw this link the other day [1], is anyone else looking into making a
Gentoo ISO for the PS3?

I took a look at the programming examples[2] (it's all in
'CellSDK11.iso') for the Cell BE on Linux. Modding the OpenGL/AL
libraries, as well as ffmpeg, etc to take advantage of the Cell's 7
128bit vector processing SPEs would really produce some spectacular
results.

The PS3 could be used as a MythTV frontend, a USRP/GnuRadio [3]
platform, a Blender development box, a PovRay [4] render box, and whole
host of other stream processors...

Hopefully I'll complete the ebuild set by tomorrow.

I haven't had a chance to look at your devspace yet, right now I'm
debating setting up a deadhat partition. Would prefer not to. However,
I also want to start writing code for the SPE's...

Some of the rumor sites paint an ugly picture for getting hands on a PS3
on the 17th. We'll see how it turns out, I don't ordinarily follow the
gaming community.

Have you seen any details on what wifi chipset is in the PS3?

Taking a look at your overlays now.
