Im well chuffed. I now have my notebook and PS2 networked. I got samba running so I can see my PS2 home directory on the network from my PC. :) Would have been a lot quicker if I didnt have a dodgy network cable.. damm thing.. Now.. I was going to try and get XFree going but having used X for a short while trying to use Gimp I decided its a bit slow.. and Gimp may be nice but I still prefer PSP. So.. I reckon if all Im gonna use is terminal windows and a text editor Im better off just logging in to several terminals and switching between then to edit / compile / test etc. Has anyone actually written any code yet ?.. Ive only got as far as looking at some of the example prog source which I gotta admit goes over my head at the mo. I guess my next step is to get the PS2 connected back to a tv. While Im here.. is anyone planning on going to ECTS this year ? I am not too sure if Im gonna go to the main event.. but I might pop into the public Sony bit.. and of course to any pub afterwards.
