The development tools for the PS2 are completely Linux based, as far as I know. I think that's a really cool thing- Microsoft does not. It was shortly after this was announced when Microsoft made public announcements against the PS2 ("It's bad for the PC economy"). When those were ignored, they announced the X-Box.
So, yes, it doesn't run Linux... But I bet it could.
At least I don't have to install Windows on my system just to play a game.
Powerful console systems can lead to nice clean computer systems- no need to partition or clutter your system up with MS crap.
