Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 screens

Eversince it has been confirmed that PS3 will be supporting Linux, the homebrew community rejoiced at the possibility of running ‘brew on Sony’s next-gen console. So when PS3 was launched and the Linux Addon CD (plus the OtherOS installer) was released, everybody knew that we are but just steps away from having Linux (and all that Linux represents, of course) on the PS3. And soon enough, we were able to provide PS3 users with full installation instructions for Fedora Core 5 (but take note that any PPC Linux distro can be installed) on the PS3. What everybody’s been waiting for though is Yellow Dog Linux v5.0.

Yep, the latest version of Terra Soft’s YDL has been confirmed for the PS3 and everybody’s been on the lookout for its release. We already got details on what it’s gonna offer and how it’s gonna be installed. Now we’re pretty sure not every PS3 user was lucky enough to have downloaded the distro (from YDL.net) last November 26 but we have here the next best thing – pictures!

Japanese site FIXSTARS has posted images of YDL v5.0 booted on a PS3. While it doesn’t show much – just the welcome sign, terms of agreement, settings, and login windows – at least we can now all take a glimpse at what the hype is all about. Don’t be shy, click on the thumbnails to get a better view…you just might find yourself itching for December 11 (when you can finally purchase the distro’s DVD in stores) or the week of Christmas (when Install and Source ISOs can actually be downloaded via public mirrors) to go speeding by.
