    I don't trust any distro that could be KO'd by Mike Tyson in 49 seconds.

    Mike Tyson just destroyed Clifford "Black Rhino" Etienne about a week ago, ya see.)

    You can actually use a TV as the display... its a simple change in one of the boot scripts.

    Unfortunately, Sony decided that it would confuse consumers too much to allow the PS2 Linux kit to be compatible with games... there are also a number of technical reasons this wasn't done. Sorry, you can only use the PS2 Linux kit to run Linux. The kit is provided mostly so hobbyist game programmers can get some real experience programming games on real game hardware.

    Its also gives some people a kick to run a web server off of their PlayStation 2.

    Here I am surfing around looking for stuff to do with my PS network adapter. I come across the Linux for Playstation 2 site, but none of the other pages on that site will load. Database errors and all that. "Well somebody needs to fix their site." i thought. Well off to Google to find some other sites. What do I see at the top of the search results?
