Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 and PS3 GameOS Versions?

Question

I'm working on installing linux on a PS3 to do some development work and I've run across a bit of a snag. The current version of the firmware on my PS3 is 2.50. The Yellow Dog website specifically mentions that there are problems with this release. The official Yellow Dog install guide (PDF!) also mentions that I should update my PS3 to the newest version (which is now 2.60). So does any body have any experience with this?

Answer 1

Ok, so I updated the firmware to 2.60 and everything seems to work (other than some network stuff, but I think that is specific to my environment, not this configuration of distro/ps3).
