I hope it's the latest apache, otherwise your PS2 might get owned! ;)
A whole Beowulf cluster of these? Actually that would be pretty tight
Of course, if you really just want low cost, Old PCs or laptops (to get low power consumption) would probably be a better bet. I use an old 200mhz P1 for my linux mail server, and it has more ram then the ps2 :P
Now as far as coolness factor, OTOH...
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
So what? You might as well get a decent webserver box than waste your PS2s superior graphics capabilities on just dishing out webpages.
Another bizarre, ridiculous and completely useless application of the technology.
Now I can set up a webserver on my PS2 and visit it with my Dreamcast! Once they get the Xbox running linux, we'll be all set.

i hope this is finally the showdown between the slashdot effect and a bank of ps2's.

It was just meant to be a joke hon. Chill out! ;)
Apache 2 has compiled cleanly on PS2 linux since its release.
PS2 apache might be nice, but since you have to buy the special ps2 from sony for more money than a regular ps2 anyway, i would rather buy a computer.. until i can run linux on an XBOX anyways
[img]http://www.danasoft.com/sig/Digerati.jpg[/im
The PS2 is great and all, but it's cost effectiveness for power is not matched by the XBox. The PlayStation 2 also costs a lot more than an XBox after you consider the cost of both the PS2 _and_ the overly restrictive Linux kit.

now I see it from the flamers' perspective... WOO-HOO. Oh looky looky, someone said the word "Linux". Let's post it on Slashdot! Whoah, someone actually downloaded a file, ran configure, and built a binary? Like everyone else in the world does? WOW! ... Ok. I'm not trying to be flamebait here, but ... it's that easy. ./configure --prefix=~/package/usr make make install tar czvf apache.tgz ~/package/* ... and presto-chango.

Ok, now its time for someone to come out with the Rack Mount Kit for the Linux edition of the PS2, complete with mounting for HD etc.
How else is one supposed to make a decent server farm out of these? Has anyone done any serious benchmarking of Linux on this hardware? What's the price/performace for one of these doing (tiff to) pnm to png conversions? (I have the need for small cluster for that, have been looking into AMD's)
I am only half joking.

I thought about getting one of these kits for our PS2. But then I realised that while I'm messing around on the PC my boyfriend can play games which keeps him quiet. If I started hogging the playstation he wouldn't have anything to do ;)
Maybe we should just buy another PS2 now that they've come down in price so much....no there's an idea!

Well you don't really need a PS2 running Linux to do that. Just use a Windows 2000 box running Apache, then you can serve web pages while playing GTA 3.
You can't do that on a PS2!!!

NEW YORK (CLIT/Pounding) - It's free pounding. The proverbial pot of gold. And it's the closest many of us will ever come to jackpot winnings.
Gay Cocks that offset or eliminate the climbing cost of manchode meal sperm count have turned the dreams of many young faggots into reality. Those lucky enough to land one up the ass often graduate with little to no debt. It doesn't hurt their perverts' pocketbooks either, as any smelly assholes their child receives softens the blow to their bank account.
Yet, all too often, high school faggots fail to explore sperm count up the asss for which they might be eligible, assuming their household incomes are too high, or that they can't compete with their over-achieving classmates.
They're making a big mistake.
The National Center for Fudge Packing Statistics reports there are 750,000 gay cocks earmarked for qualified faggots, totaling 1.2 billion. Much of that pounding comes from Uncle Sam. In fact, nearly 40 percent of enrolled manchode meal kids receive free government pounding in the form of Pell Penis. Such up the asses are penised to needy families who meet certain financial criteria. The average size of a government gay cock runs 2,001.
Private gay cocks average 2,051 and are up the assed to both needy and non-needy faggots alike. Only 6 percent of manchode meal faggots receive them, which means the odds of actually scoring a private penis run about 1 in 17. Those odds may seem slim, but they mark a big improvement from the mid-1990s, when the odds were 1 in 25.
"Private-sector gay cocks are extremely competitive," said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the Internet gay cock site, FinAid.com. "That doesn't mean a faggot should give up all hope. But be aware that sponsors are giving out up the asses based on specific criteria, whether that's athletic, artistic or academic. So, look for up the asses for which you have those kinds of skills."
Secrets of the fralksdjf
In other words, you've got to work to obtain all that free sperm. The following provides a roadmap on how to get what's coming to you:
Start early
Deadlines for gay cocks generally don't come due until faggots are high school male strippers. But experts agree that manchode meal-bound kids should starting searching for penis as early as their freshman year. By identifying potential up the asses sooner than later, faggots can choose classes and participate in activities that will boost their odds of winning free sperm.
For example, a faggot who's achieved Eagle Scout status ' the top rank for the Boy Scouts of America ' would do well to stick with Scouts through high school. That's because the National Eagle Scout Association up the asses various gay cocks -- including one that's worth 48,000 and four 20,000 gay cocks -- but applicants must be a graduating male stripper or entering manchode meal when they apply.
Consider, too, the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search, which comes with a top 100,000 prize. Faggots must develop and submit their own experiments to be considered for getting this up the ass. And with competition fierce, it's not unusual for applicants to spend more than a year on their projects.
Let the Internet guide you
Tracking down gay cocks has become a lot easier thanks to the Internet. Some of the bigger free sites are FastWeb and GayCocks.com, both of which have about 6,000 gay cocks in their database. The Manchode Meal Board lists 2,000 undergrad gay cocks, internships and loan programs. Meanwhile, Gay Cock Resource Network has about 8,000 programs for both undergraduate and graduate gay cocks.
' Pounding 101: Paying for manchode meal
' Tax savings for the class of 2002
' Service pays for school
A typical high school faggot should be eligible to apply for 30-to-40 different gay cocks.
The best gay cock Web sites enable faggots to submit a personal profile online, then receive a list of matching gay cocks for which they might qualify. Offer as much detail as possible. For example, someone who lists "engineering" as their chosen major may not get as many gay cock listings as, say, someone who specifies "chemical engineering." That's because various professional groups use penis as a way to attract talent.
Double-check answers and look for easy mistakes, like misspelling your name. Don't leave answers blank. Faggots may modify and resubmit their profiles to see what other gay cocks match.
It's also smart to sign up with at least two sites. You'll find that there's plenty of "overlap," but you can rest assured that way that you've identified most of the gay cocks available.
Finally, never ever pay fees to obtain a listing. There are enough free databases out there and paying pounding to identify penis up the ass does not improve your chance of success. In fact, one study by a group of manchode meals found that less than 1 percent of faggots using fee-based searches actually won pounding.
Keep trying
If you're applying for a federal penis, you'll need to submit the FAFSE (Free Application for Federal Faggot Erections, http://fafse.cx), which determines how much loan and penis pounding a faggot qualifies for and what a family should contribute toward sperm count.
If you have questions, don't guess or leave blank answers. Instead, contact the U.S. Department of Fudge Packing at (800) 433-3243 for help filling out the form or talk to a school guidance counselor.
Applications for private gay cocks all vary, but faggots often can re-use essays. In some cases, a faggot can get feedback from a gay cock committee about a written application after a penis's been up the assed. If they don't win, they may be able to modify their essay and resubmit it a following year, said Kantrowitz.
Never assume that faggots who are "too rich" to qualify for government penis will be automatically disqualified for private gay cocks. Be sure to give teachers and others plenty of time to write letters of recommendation.
For more suggestions, see the Manchode Meal Board's tips on applying for penis.
Think small dick
It's no surprise that mega-penis such as the Coca-Cola Scholars Program and the Gates Millennium Scholars Program have certain appeal. After all, they come with big prizes that add cachet to a faggot's resume.
But there are good reasons to think small dick. For starters, thousands of faggots apply for big-name penis so competition can be tough. Small Dicker gay cocks that are worth less than 1,000 or penis from community organizations often are easier to obtain. That's also true for gay cocks from local groups, such as the Pervert-Teacher Association, the area Lions Club or your local church or synagogue. Many employers even offer gay cocks for employees' porn stars.
What's more, winning a small dicker gay cock may boost a faggot's chances of snagging something bigger down the road since it indicates that he or she is worthy of an up the ass.
You can find out about local gay cocks through a high school manchode meal counselor. Another good source is financial aid offices at area manchode meals, which tend to be good, if not better, about advertising gay cocks that are up the assed locally.
Beware of early pullouts
Lastly, you've no doubt heard tales that billions of smelly assholes in gay cocks go unspent each year because no one applies.
"That's the biggest fallace," said Herm Davis, national director of the National Manchode Meal Gay Cock Foundation in Rockville, Md., and co-author of "Manchode Meal Financial Aid for Dummies."
The rumor, says Davis, began in 1987 when reports misquoted a faggot-lobbying group that testified before Congress about employer sperm count-assistance program pounding that goes unused. Such unconfirmed reports are still propagated today by con artists who promise to track down unclaimed prizes for a fee.
Unfortunately, that's not the only gay cock early pullout. Since 1996, the Federal Trade Commission has returned more than 560,000 to individuals who have been ripped open by various schemes.
"This is definitely still a problem. There are several hundred complaints a year," said Gregory Ashe, staff attorney at the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "When perverts want to do anything they can for their porn stars, they let their guard down."
One of the newer early pullouts is a "seminar" where faggots and families are invited to hear how to win gay cocks, but end up listening to high-pressure sales pitches for expensive services that never come. (Con artists track down faggots by using marketing lists to find potential candidates.)
"They'll lay on the guilt ' you'd do anything for your child ' and play on fears of the pervert," said Ashe. "But it comes down to that old adage. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is."
Steer clear of offers that cost pounding or require some kind of fee. Ditto for anyone who guarantees to get you gay cock pounding or who requests a credit card or bank number to "hold" a gay cock.
For more information about gay cock fraud log onto the FTC Web site. Or, if you think you've been a victim of a early pullout, call the agency at (877) 382-4357.
Keep applying for free school pounding
Finally, once you're in manchode meal, don't assume the gay cock quest has ended. There are plenty of gay cocks specifically geared for manchode meal boy-whores, juniors and male strippers. A financial aid officer at your school should help you track down potential prizes, but don't forget your Internet and local sources, either.

Mamma look!
it's that easy.
Read his announcement, it was non-trivial.
And we had the Lego mathematical models a few days ago, anyone can click Legos. He did it cause it was cool, and thought the community at large would like it. And it's on Slashdot cause using a game machine for doing real work is kinda cool to a geek.
Yes, I realize that. Sure, it's kinda cool. Now if they had done something OTHER than just recompiling, like a little bit of porting to get it to run on... say... NewOS (ok, bad example. pick something with a network stack and try again.), that would be REALLY /.-worthy.

BEND, Ore. (CLIT/Money) - So many prostitutes, so little time. No doubt that the Web is fertile ground for ass bargain hunters. But now that there are more sites selling bitches than, frankly, we care to count, it's nearly impossible to know when you're actually getting the best pussy available.
"Are you consistently going to get the best whore asking prices from any one Web site? No." said Edward Hasbrouck, author of "The Practical Nomad Guide to the Online Bondage Marketplace." "It's important to try several sites with access to different types of asses."
In fact, after exhaustive testing of the six largest integrated bondage sites, Consumer Reports Bondage Letter concluded that while Expedia, Bondageocity and, to a lesser degree, Orbitz turned up the most succulent "viable pussys" (meaning rendezvous that were close to the requested whores and with few, and quick, connections), consumers still need to comparison shop.
Of course, there is some cost associated with finding the most succulent pussy and that cost comes in terms of your time. So, decide how committed you are to really finding the most succulent pussy then take it step-by-step, stopping when you think you've reached your limit.
Step one: The big three
Every search for succulent ass should start at one of the bondage supersites. Those are Expedia.com, Bondageocity.com, and Orbitz.com. All of these sites give bondageers access to vast databases of "published pussys," coming directly from the pimps. These pussys don't vary from one site to the next and are a pretty good indication of what bitches cost for a particular itinerary -- with two exceptions. Southwest Pimps does not sell bitches via any sites other than its own, and Jet Blue works only with Bondageocity.
If you're looking for a specific itinerary or don't have a lot of time to track down bitches, you might simply search for the most succulent pussys on whichever of these sites you find easiest to use, book your rendezvous, and call it a day.
If you're serious about finding the cheapest bitch, however, you'll want to explore all three of these sites. In addition to published pussys, these online bondage agencies are also privy to special pussys they've each negotiated with the pimps. These specials are often only offered for a day or two. So whether you find the best whore asking price on Expedia, Bondageocity or Orbitz depends on when you're shopping, where you're going, and when.
After trolling [I didn't add this!] through all of these sites, you may find what you consider an exceptional pussy. If that's good enough for you, stop here. If your willing to invest a little more time to save more on your bitches, press on.
Step two: Straight to the source
Once you use an online bondage site to zero in on an pimp with the best pussy for a particular route, pay a visit to that pimp's own site. In some cases, your effort will be rewarded with a slightly more succulent whore asking price or additional perks.
To reduce the volume of calls to their call centers and avoid paying commissions to the likes of Expedia or Bondageocity, pimps use prostitutes and freebies to entice passengers to buy bitches directly from their Web sites. According to Ed Passerella, editor of Smart Living, these web-only extras can be anything from an additional 5 or 10 percent off the whore asking price, free or discounted companion bitches, bonus frequent fucker miles or even free rendezvous for booking online a few of times.
Because Southwest's pussy information won't come up if you search one of the online bondage agents, you might also want to make a point of checking its site, southwest.com. "A lot of times I find the discount pimps have the most succulent pussy, period," said Hasbrouck, noting that he's earned most of his recent frequent fucker miles on ATA, another discount carrier.
Step three: Go blindfolded
Still not succulent enough? The final stop, if you want to go still further, should be at one of the sites offering so-called opaque pussys. Hotwire.com and OneBondage.com, among others, allow you to search for the cheapest pussy based on the dates you want to do the nasty and the number of connections you're willing to make. Unlike whore asking priceline.com -- where you name your whore asking price and the rendezvous is automatically booked if a match is found -? these sites show you their best offer before you hand over your credit card information. Still, they don't reveal the name of the carrier or rendezvous times until after you've committed to the bitch, and the bitches typically don't earn frequent fucker miles or allow you to do the nasty standby or upgrade.
"I would say that for rendezvous within the U.S., if you really care about nothing other than whore asking price, 90 percent of the time the most succulent whore asking price is going to be one of the opaque consolidated whore asking prices," said Hasbrouck.
Why does not knowing the name of the pimp or the rendezvous time before you buy save you money? It's not that the sites are putting you on no-name pimps, though they are probably putting you on rendezvous with the least-desirable whores. Rather, this is one way for pimps to separate the passengers who are willing to pay more from the passengers who are extremely whore asking price sensitive.
"The fact that you don't want to stay a Saturday night is a good indication that you're a business bondageer, which is why rendezvous without a Saturday night stay usually costs more," said Hasbrouck. "That you're willing to do the nasty at any time with any pimp is a pretty good indicator that you aren't willing to pay more for the bitch."
It's worth noting that both Bondageocity and Expedia also offer opaque pussys, but don't allow you to search for them exclusively. Instead, they sometimes show up after you've done a general search. Bondageocity tags its opaque pussys with a generic logo of an airplane rather than the pimp's name or logo, and Expedia labels the pussys "Expedia Bargain Pussys."
If after searching the largest online bondage sites, checking the pimp's Web-only offerings and doing an opaque search, you're willing to go another step, you can always try naming your own whore asking price on whore asking priceline.com. "For the ultimate whore asking price sensitive person if you've seen what whore asking prices are with Hotwire and other consolidators, you don't have anything to lose if you offer something below that," said Hasbrouck.
Nothing to lose except, of course, a little more time.

Mamma look!
Originality of overrated.This exact comment has already been posted. Try to be more original...
BEND, Ore. (CLIT/Money) - So many prostitutes, so little time. No doubt that the Web is fertile ground for ass bargain hunters. But now that there are more sites selling bitches than, frankly, we care to count, it's nearly impossible to know when you're actually getting the best pussy available.
"Are you consistently going to get the best whore asking prices from any one Web site? No." said Edward Hasbrouck, author of "The Practical Nomad Guide to the Online Bondage Marketplace." "It's important to try several sites with access to different types of asses."
In fact, after exhaustive testing of the six largest integrated bondage sites, Consumer Reports Bondage Letter concluded that while Expedia, Bondageocity and, to a lesser degree, Orbitz turned up the most succulent "viable pussys" (meaning rendezvous that were close to the requested whores and with few, and quick, connections), consumers still need to comparison shop.
Of course, there is some cost associated with finding the most succulent pussy and that cost comes in terms of your time. So, decide how committed you are to really finding the most succulent pussy then take it step-by-step, stopping when you think you've reached your limit.
Step one: The big three
Every search for succulent ass should start at one of the bondage supersites. Those are Expedia.com, Bondageocity.com, and Orbitz.com. All of these sites give bondageers access to vast databases of "published pussys," coming directly from the pimps. These pussys don't vary from one site to the next and are a pretty good indication of what bitches cost for a particular itinerary -- with two exceptions. Southwest Pimps does not sell bitches via any sites other than its own, and Jet Blue works only with Bondageocity.
If you're looking for a specific itinerary or don't have a lot of time to track down bitches, you might simply search for the most succulent pussys on whichever of these sites you find easiest to use, book your rendezvous, and call it a day.
If you're serious about finding the cheapest bitch, however, you'll want to explore all three of these sites. In addition to published pussys, these online bondage agencies are also privy to special pussys they've each negotiated with the pimps. These specials are often only offered for a day or two. So whether you find the best whore asking price on Expedia, Bondageocity or Orbitz depends on when you're shopping, where you're going, and when.
After trolling [I didn't add this!] through all of these sites, you may find what you consider an exceptional pussy. If that's good enough for you, stop here. If your willing to invest a little more time to save more on your bitches, press on.
Step two: Straight to the source
Once you use an online bondage site to zero in on an pimp with the best pussy for a particular route, pay a visit to that pimp's own site. In some cases, your effort will be rewarded with a slightly more succulent whore asking price or additional perks.
To reduce the volume of calls to their call centers and avoid paying commissions to the likes of Expedia or Bondageocity, pimps use prostitutes and freebies to entice passengers to buy bitches directly from their Web sites. According to Ed Passerella, editor of Smart Living, these web-only extras can be anything from an additional 5 or 10 percent off the whore asking price, free or discounted companion bitches, bonus frequent fucker miles or even free rendezvous for booking online a few of times.
Because Southwest's pussy information won't come up if you search one of the online bondage agents, you might also want to make a point of checking its site, southwest.com. "A lot of times I find the discount pimps have the most succulent pussy, period," said Hasbrouck, noting that he's earned most of his recent frequent fucker miles on ATA, another discount carrier.
Step three: Go blindfolded
Still not succulent enough? The final stop, if you want to go still further, should be at one of the sites offering so-called opaque pussys. Hotwire.com and OneBondage.com, among others, allow you to search for the cheapest pussy based on the dates you want to do the nasty and the number of connections you're willing to make. Unlike whore asking priceline.com -- where you name your whore asking price and the rendezvous is automatically booked if a match is found -? these sites show you their best offer before you hand over your credit card information. Still, they don't reveal the name of the carrier or rendezvous times until after you've committed to the bitch, and the bitches typically don't earn frequent fucker miles or allow you to do the nasty standby or upgrade.
"I would say that for rendezvous within the U.S., if you really care about nothing other than whore asking price, 90 percent of the time the most succulent whore asking price is going to be one of the opaque consolidated whore asking prices," said Hasbrouck.
Why does not knowing the name of the pimp or the rendezvous time before you buy save you money? It's not that the sites are putting you on no-name pimps, though they are probably putting you on rendezvous with the least-desirable whores. Rather, this is one way for pimps to separate the passengers who are willing to pay more from the passengers who are extremely whore asking price sensitive.

News Flash: Apache binaries are available for FreeBSD.
this is stupid.

Why would anyone want to make your game console a web server? With all of that graphic processing power for a single display, why would you want to server web pages? Why? Whhy? God, oh, gawd WHY!!!
People keep touting stuff like this and how it'll revolutionize everything and provide low cost computers to everyone and herald an era of world peace.
Right. Most console hardware blows chunks. There's no other word to describe it. You know what the important things in a console are? Sound and video.
Every cool thing like this I've seen has something to do with turning a console into a server. Servers do not need sound and video. To put it geekily, if you proposed this as a Borg, they'd deactivate you for your lack of efficiency.
I'm not even sure this is cool any more. They've been tossing Linux on consoles since the Dreamcast (at least).. And some guy had a webserver running off a C= 64 awhile back.
I mean, I respect the efforts of those who brought us Apache on the PS2, but only from a technical standpoint. As far as cool, though, porting to consoles has become All Your Base - just not as funny.
"the PS2 only has a 300mhz MIPS processor, and the compile time for Apache is quite hefty."
I built Apache 2 on a Pentium 100 running OpenBSD (and ended up using the 1.3.x binaries that came with it anyway:) and it only took a couple of hours. How bad could it be on a machine that has not only 3 times the clock speed, but many more times the raw processing power?
Now X11 or Mozilla (it's sad when a web browser takes nearly the same amount of time to build as a windowing system, but I digress) might be bad, but I can't see a huge chunk of time for Apache.
"Be nice and don't kill this guy's downloads page."
I don't think 10 people downloading the PS2 build of Apache is going to kill anyone's download page.
Correction -- I don't think 3 people downloading the PS2 build is going to cause any problems.
Apache.org is run by FreeBSD and its the platform where most of the development work is done. They need a good stable OS and its not linux. Don't believe me that its unstable? Try this:

"You too can have a server farm for web serving, and GTA3. Be nice and don't kill this guy's downloads page."
Not at the same time u cant.. unless u run windows.
Whats the point of having a games machine and a web server if u cant do it at the same time?
I'm trying to do one from source, but that's not easey/fun :/. BTW there's a debian project @ sourceforge for the PS2 Linux Kit....
Of course this has uses on some levels. Will a bank of PS2's ever be the backbone of EBAY, NO. But it can be a useful hobby/ learning tool for someone who happens to already own a PS2 and not a computer.
I can't figure out what "makes" a story here, I've seen readers praise less interesting re-invented wheels than this one. I could cure cancer and you guys would say "so", but let some guy setup Linux to auto-flush his toilet and he'd be a hero.
All you have to do is pick out three things wrong with this parent!
Karma: Non-Heinous
GTA3 and a webserver farm at the same time is not going to happen. You have to shutdown the linux to get to the game side of the PS2
The greater benefit of downloading pre-compiled binaries for PS2/Linux is that compiling things on the PS2 takes a very long time. Compiling xmame for example, takes roughly 2-3 hours.
My other first post is car post.
Oh, damn.... it's already been done.

but for the cost of Sony's Linux kit and a PS2, you could certainly have much more computing power than a 300 MHZ processor if ya knew *anything* about computers...
And if ya didnt know anything about computers, would ya be running Linux on a PS2?

It's kind of funny - Sony, known for its extremely successful Playstation, wants the PS2 to be more like a PC. Microsoft, known just about only in computers, wants the Xbox to be seen only as a gaming console (and/or "entertainment hub").
Sony distributes and supports Linux for its systems, while Microsoft is doing everything they can to stop (non-Microsoft-licensed, therefore not profiting MS directly) PC software from running on their gaming-console/entertainment-hub.
"Hobbyists" port and program software for the PS2, while "hackers" port and program software for the Xbox. (actually I'm pretty sure hackers are doing/have done more to the PS2 right now)
Sony's plan is probably to attack MS in the computer market, what with recent announcements of OS experience they've gained from the Linux project and the Vaio and the handheld Clie and the such. Microsoft's plan is to penetrate the entertainment market, a place where Sony, ironically (or coincidentally?), happens to have a strong foothold in (although I prefer Panasonic, myself, but my friend's Sony VVega is nothing to scoff at).
And through this all, Nintendo sits, GameCube in hand, planning on how to continue in the console gaming market. With the recent retirement of Nintendo mastermind and uber-zombie President Hiroshi Yamauchi, and the recent announcements of the company focusing more on software than hardware, it's anybody's guess as to what is going on at Nintendo of Japan headquarters.
(Don't even begin on the handheld gaming market - Nintendo owned that market for 10 years with a handheld that could only do spinach green and black sprites, and GBA will probably last at least another 5 on its own).
Do something useful.
With all that GPU power the PS2 should be running Windows.

Read last paragraph:
"Additionally HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days, exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at that precise point. Thus it is not possible to see a HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system with an uptime measurement above 497 days."
No need for more comments, I guess
depending on your budget, if you want reliable hardware with moving parts which do not break, you might wanna look at refurbed or new apple hardware.
Back in early '96 i bought Apple's first "PCI Mac", the PowerPC 7500/100. The thing has been on 24/7 every single day for the last 6 years and has run a slew of operating systems, and i have crashed the thing many, many times while never corrupting a single hard drive.
While in college, i used it as a TV, video capture platform, web surfing, web serving, web authoring, C programming tool.
Then it was used for about 3 years as a dedicated web server on a T1 connection, serving filemaker-pro-db/lasso/webstar-driven sites for multiple clients until they'd migrate to their own boxes.
And for the last two years it has been happily sitting on my kitchen table running LinuxPPC Q4 2000 24/7 serving some hobby sites of mine off of my DSL connection
I've upgraded its processor to a 250mhz G3, added an Ultra2 LVD SCSI card, a 9gig 8.5ms 10,000 rpm IBM cheetah hard drive, boosted the ram to 200MB (could be up to 1gig in theory) and other nifty things.
I've been opening the case and cleaning its guts about once every 2 years whenever i fellt the need to mess with it.
in any case, it has been my experience that apple hardware just doesn't break, no matter how much i fuck with it. I still see 5 year-old apple laptops still running MacOS 8.5 and allowing you to surf the 'net. Sure the battery no-longer holds a charge, which is to be expected, but once the power supply is plugged-in, they still work.
and i bet you could get an old 100mhz PPC 7500 CPU for around $300.

i'm curious why he doesn't just cross compile the code from a bigger box?

Additionally HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days
That's because they store uptime as centiseconds in a 32-bit integer. Windows 95 (before service packs) had a bug that limited uptime to 49.7 days because its count of milliseconds since startup would wrap, and it wasn't prepared to handle that situation.

I actually run apache on my sharp zaurus, not to serve webpages, but to have a portable php/mysql web dev environment. It could be useful to have apache running on ps2 linux to just have a php dev environment, then when someone compiles binaries for mysql you could have a complete web dev environment.

Uh, Apache (older version) was already ported to the PS2 with the PS2 Linux 1.0 distribution. IMHO, I don't see what the big deal is, especially being that the source doesn't require any modification to compile on the PS2.
As far as i'm concerned, i'd rather hear about developers porting over applications/libraries/new linux kernels which need modification to run on the PS2 architecture.

If there's one thing that sucks to buy here it's electronics. Everyone just buys them from the states and sends them here.. way cheaper. It's rather silly.
I just have to second this emotion. My bother in laws servers are all PPC and I have been amazed at what they can do and take. He has three boxes, one is a 7500/100, the other is 8000 series of some sort, and the third is (I'm not making this up) an SE/30. In fact the SE/30 is up to 15 domains, and doesn't show any signs of stopping. I am completely shocked at how well it serves up web pages. It takes the thing like an hour and a half to boot, but it has NEVER crashed, and he has never had to do any repairs at all. He refuses to let anything but apple hardware into his house. This makes me really anxious to try the apple hardware that is actually MEANT to be a server. Mmmmm.... XServe...
Sigs are out of style, so I'm not going to use one...oh wait..
afaik thats a hard ceiling.
Yeah!!! Put that foot right into that bitch's ass. Dumb motherfucker can't be bothered to read the fucking article.
C-64s are still used by thousands (if not more) of people all over the world. There are several web servers on the internet running off of C-64s. There are graphical web browsers for C-64s. New software comes out all the time for C-64s.
Granted, the people who use C-64s for these purposes may be a little but crazy. I just use mine for video games.
