[ydl-gen] Response of Fixstars to end of ps3 otheros

[Alessandro Fausto]

I am a freelance software developer and the PS3 is the only Cell based
system I can buy with my limited budget. Me too I have installed and
used linux on my PS3 since the day i bought it.

I like the Cell architecture and I will wait to see what appens.

Regards,
Alessandro Fausto
