[Cbe-oss-dev] Good resources for PS3 linux

*I'm having fun playing with python at the moment, so I guess setting up a
web server on it should be no problem.
*
If you have python running already, it has a webserver built-in.

   - python2: $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>
   - python3: $ python -m http.server <port>

*Are there any good sites on what can and cannot be done in linux for PS3
(both technical and legal wise)?
*
The main value is for programming the SPUs. For anything else it's a
generally poor choice. (And pretty much nothing you'll find off the shelf
has been SPU optimized.)

   - IBM's docs are generally a good place to start:
   http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-linuxps3-1/
   - There's a homebrew wiki but I don't know how well it's kept up:
   http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Cell_Programming_IBM
   - And some of my stuff on cellperformance.com which I'll tell you right
   now is totally out of date:
   http://cellperformance.beyond3d.com/articles/2006/11/cross-compiling-for-ps3-linux-1.html

Although I think there's a working RSX driver for FreeBSD (which I haven't
tried, so I don't know anything else about it):

PS: Read Jonathan's thesis, because y'know, someone should. ;)
