last night I was looking up the specs on the ps3, pretty inpressive.
and I found an article of someone putting fedora core 5 on it, then I looked up what the performance would be like. they compared to the powerpc G5, and the results were pretty close to the same.

so now my question, would it be cheaper and better to purchase a ps3 and put fedora on it compared to buying a prebuilt desktop. for the price. approx. $700.

thanks :]
 
Not neccesarily more powerful, more or less better optimized. Running fedora core you wouldn't be able to game as well as you would think.
 
Yah, try chatting on the forum with a controller. lol

wow that really does suck, it would take forever to type the message you are reading right now
 
Yup, most of your arguments are bogus.

You wouldn't be able to build an equivalent PC for the price of a ps3, they're sold at a loss in anticipation of software sales, it would outperform a computer worth much much more.
 
I heard somewhere you can plug a usb keyboard to chat through the ps3.

edit: My bad, didnt see the 2nd page.
 
holdenssx just said that

even my old dreamcast had a keyboard

consoles have been able to go online and do 99% of what we do on our computers for years

I didn't see that there was a 2nd page.

I think id go for the ps3 actually.
 
but once you put fedora on there, you couldnt play ps3 games could you?

either way,if it wont play all pc games, i dont have a need for it
 
Either way, you COULD build a better gaming computer for the price of a PS3. That's where you all a wrong. you must build it yourself, but it would be better no doubt.
 
MAYBE with an illegally obtained copy of windows, but even then you're pushing it just to BUILD a computer, let alone a BETTER one.
