I feel that I am headed to Gentoo myself because of the emerge method of installing apps. The reasons why I have NOT yet implemented Gentoo are the following:
- I want to optimize my apps in YDL first, mostly dealing with video/sound. Because YDL 5.0 is "tailored" for the PS3, and Terrasoft should have the latest and greatest information about PS3 design, drivers, components etc. they technically should be superior over the next 6 months in getting the most out of the PS3
if Sony lets them.
- I feel that we are all headed to dumping iso's from Blu-ray and it will take the magical iso loader (not yet developed) so the PS3 can read a Blu-ray iso from hard drive that has copy protection schemes enabled. This maybe platform independent, but perhaps YDL will be the first to release a driver for accelerated video (not available now) and of course their wireless driver is in beta test now.
Long Term: I like what I have learned about Gentoo and will migrate there eventually. I want this thread to be a repository of knowledge for Gentoo since it has so many user benefits.
song26, can you keep us informed on implementing VLC or equivalent, and whether you can drive a full-screen picture in HD with sound completely in sync? This is what we want to know, how you did it.
