The biggest thing to keep in mind is that ram is really limited. So make sure you have a lot of swap. In fact, I used to use a PS3 for development and testing quite a lot myself, so it definitely should work. > Thanks about the info. I could find ps-ubuntu help site, and am using fast swap + usual swap. My distro is ubuntu server, sometimes xubuntu for desktop, and a lot of uneeded services are stopped. So memory usage rate is quite reasonable now. > Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit userspace on the PS3? I remember having had issues with 64 bit userspace. I'm using 64 bit. Userspace, you mean qemu? Is it possible to use 32 bit qemu, cross compiled on somewhere else, on ps3 linux (64bit ppc)? -- I'm still learning about ppc's architectures, so lack some knowledge.
