Do you have a small home network?

Sometimes when i save as a favorite an interesting website, as this blog :-), for example in PC, and then, working and wanted to go to that site, I had to move on fixed PC because, obviously, bookmarks saved on pc and i'm working on laptop...


Do you want to keep all bookmarks accessible?

Then just add a site to favorites once and it will always available on any comupter we are using, on holiday or at work ...

To install, you only have to use Firefox as browser, follow this link, click install now and restart Firefox.

Here is a quick guide on how to use it, even if the operation is very intuitive and you can safely follow your nose.

W Firefox!

VLC VideoLan, DivX XviD player on PS3 with YDL Linux


After install VLC Player i was able to play avi files over the network from NAT, from removable drive and from shared folder on Windows PC.

How it works? You need to log on as root on the blue screen and choose the gnome environment on your YDL.

I also find out that once you install VLC on gnome environment it will also run on the YDL enlightment environment, but gnome is more stable.

Step 1. Getting VLC Player installed onto the PS3, including all dependencies.

Download the 7zip file and use archive manager (default) to extract the 9 file in /etc/yum.repos.d you'll need to set the directory because it will try to download to the desktop.
Overwrite if necessary.

www.trofio.altervista.org/zip/therepos.7z

now open a gnome teminal and type

"yum update"

this will update your repositories.

Once its completed we will install VLC player simply by typing

"yum install videolan-client"

VoilĂ  your favourite video player!

PS: Now with firmware 2.10 our beast could read divx, but if you want play video from your LAN, Linux and VLC are required...

UTorrent, light client to download the torrent


If you need a client to download songs, movies and whatever (obviously not protected by copyright,) among many take uTorrent which has the peculiarity of being the smallest.

In only 170Kbyte of software we are all features necessary to open the torrent who are on various sites such as www.mininova.org etc ...

Another interesting feature is that uTorrent does not require installation and can work well even from a USB flash drive.

It's easy to configure, just download it and then double-click on the executable file. You will be asked to your speed connection and uTorrent is ready to open the torrent around the network.

For any clarification on the operation of this mechanism, you do not have to ask...
