KDE on ps3

Sat Feb 07, 2009 6:48 pm
alright so most people know that ps3 is able to install linux as an other operating system.

i was wondering if KDE is or will be able to be installed a ps3 console.
+PS3 uses powerpc architecture,

also can KDE runs .exe files?

YDL has KDE3 in its repository. this thread has instructions for getting KDE4

Ubuntu Intrepid (alternate installation CD) works on PS3, and it has the kubuntu-desktop package (kde 4.1) http://psubuntu.com/wiki/InstallUbuntu

Open Suse 11.1 installs on PS3 and comes with both versions of KDE http://en.opensuse.org/PS3

KDE does not run any software (.exe or otherwise). It is a set of applications. Linux doesn't natively run .exe applications, though many can be run in WINE. If you have a specific windows program you want to run, check to see if it works in WINE.

Last I checked, WINE doesn't work on PPC.

The ability of KDE to run executables ( *.exe for Windows ) is dependant upon the underlying Operating System. Wine ( winehq.org ) is available for UNIX ( Linux, *bsd,, Mac OS X ) to run Windows applications.

I can't wait for the day Wine runs everything.
