well, i was basing it on the fact that those operating systems didn't need too much memory. windows 95/98 ran fine with about 128mb ram. combined the ps3 has a total of 512mb ram, so i was suggesting that the ps3 could run it. Why can't the cell processor run windows 95/98?
"Seems to be installing just fine using kboot and otheros.self files obtained from 8/08"
*rasp* Damn, I tried otheros.self file from 06/08, and it wouldn't work. I managed to get FC5 running, but yum is useless because the repositories are closed, si I'll have to upgrade from the FC10 DVD.
It's a real pain in the ass, for some reason the wifi worked fine after the first install, on a 1080i HD TV, but later when I got back to my home system, 1080p, the wifi stopped working and had several kernel errors.
I haven't had a chance to check out the logs, or recompile the kernel, but I think I'm going to go for Gentoo so I can get a little better support for the SPU Libs...
i want to know what is more gd fedora or ubuntu

has anyone tried windows 95 or windows 98 on the PS3?

That would be Impossible. Windows 95 and onwards run on i386 processors only.
It would be a longshot but you could try NT 4, it ran on PowerPC as well as i386.

The same reason that macs couldn't prior to 2007, they used powerpc chips instead of intel i386 or the AMD equivents.

It's not possible to run any os'es, except Linux on PS3. The reason is that Windows isnt compiled for PS3's CPU (PPC I think).
