    It's a shame that this kit can't make self running CDs. Only others with the kit can see the work done by the PS2-Linux community, and that's a shame, because the demo scene for this could have been huge.

    I doubt anything homegrown would have *impared* sales of commercial games, but the control over the distribution of works created with Linux (of all things) is draconian.

    (Apparently with a mod chip you can boot, but that's even fuzzier legal waters...)

    Dude, what are you talking about? I got Quake3 to 130 FPS in my PS2 Linux kit. The key is to use my custom-hacked WindowsXP that will load under WINE, and then running Quake3 through WinXP through WINE.
