  1. Why? by Warin · · Score: 2, Troll

    All right...

    Why on earth would anyone buy a PS2, plus the Linux kit? You can cobble together a PC out of used parts that will perform at LEAST as well as the PS2 linux box for a lot less. And if you arent already technically proficient with PC hardware, building a machine will help you learn those skills rather than just plugging together the PS2 black boxes.

    Just because something can be doen, doesn't mean that it makes sense to do it.

    Or is this one of the He who has the most toys wins' sort of things? Sometimes it makes me want to cry...

    but if you bought a Dreamcast console that was produced after November 2000, it will not read CD-R's... and therefore you won't be able to run linux... but speaking of linux, why would you want to run linux anyway? it's a piece of shit no good, sorry ass excuse of an operating system... with Windows 2000 i can manage my shit easily...
