believe this mailing list and the YDL board<br>
<a href="http://www.yellowdog-board.com/" target="_blank">http://www.yellowdog-board.com/</a> are the only two specific ones.<br>
<br>
I am new to YDL too myself. I suspect not many people use it very much<br>
these days if traffic in these lists or the YDL board is anything to<br>
go by, at least relative to the traffic you can see on the ubuntu<br>
boards.<br>
<br>
As much as I hate saying this, you may want to check out Ubuntu as an<br>
alternative for a beginner for the following reason - there appear to<br>
be more distro specific 'current' books on the shelves of local<br>
bookshops, and at a brief glance, their forums appear to be more<br>
active. No doubt some questions and issues you will have will be ps3<br>
specific but they have a forum for that too. People say ubuntu gnome<br>
or kde (kubuntu) is a big of a memory hog so some say xubuntu (xfce<br>
desktop) is possibly the best variant to install on the ps3.<br>
<br>
Your mileage may vary, I chose YDL and have stuck with it for a number<br>
of reasons namely the reputation and I have not ever tried an rpm<br>
distro before.<br>
<br>
By the way, you may find that some advice or tips for Red hat<br>
Enterprise Linux / CentOS 5.2 may apply to YDL too (big 'may' there)<br>
as I believe that's the base source YDL is compiled from.<br>
<br>
Cheers, happy Christmas.<br>
