So far so good...

My wife's trip to Bali and the Chinese new year holidays gave me four days to fiddle with my new toys (a PS3 and a 47" LCD from LG). Being the nerd I am, I quickly decided to put Linux on there.

After connecting a keyboard and mouse and installing Yello Dog Linux 5.0 (20061208 release), it loaded up nicely.

Thanks to Google I got the 1080p display to work, and I have installed VLC and xmame. Both work great.

All I need now is a good media-center which I can control with the PS3 controller, and I'm set.
