Installing ps3mediaserver on Fedora 11
Most of my movie and audio files are on my Linux box. Currently, I use ps3mediaserver to get all my media across to my PS3 which is my media center. Aaaaa… the simplicity is just amazing.
PS3mediaserver is Java based and getting it set-up is a breeze. Here’s how,
1. Download the tar package. Remember to download the most recent version. Look here
[danesh@jackal ~]$ wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/files/pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz
2. Extract the download tar package.
[danesh@jackal ~]$ tar -zxvf pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz
3. Go in to the new extracted foder and start the server by executing the “PMS.sh” script. Also, remember to give execute rights to the “PMS.sh” script by running chmod +x.
[danesh@jackal ~]$ chmod +x PMS.sh
[danesh@jackal ~]$ cd pms-linux-1.10.5
[danesh@jackal ~]$ ./PMS.sh
That’s it, turn on your ps3 and start enjoying your new media server.

On Fedora – System/Administration/Firewall other ports
as someone TOTALLY clueless in Linux, I just downloaded Fedora Linux 11 and installed on my laptop, because I have become completely frustrated with Windows Vista.
Unfortunately, I am a complete newbie in the area of Linux and would like some advice on how to get some basic stuff accomplished in Linux.
Your tutorials are in depth, but still assume that the end users know linux commands.
Help?
Thanks and will be greatly appreciated…
It does NOT work on my FC11 (does on windows from the same PC). It starts fine but cannot find PS3:
