  1. More than I thought! on NetBSD on PS2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok first I thought this was cool. After reading some of the posts here and elswhere I figured that it was pretty limited. I checked out www.ps2linux.com a site mostly in japanese. It appears that a PS2 linux kit is available that contains
    10/100 baseT ethernet adapter
    A Hard Drive (couldn't determine size)
    USB keyboard
    USB Mouse 2 button + Scoll wheel button
    A cord that as far as I can tell will attach a monitor
    PS2 linux Beta Release 1 DVD DISK
    - PlayStartion 2 Runtime Enviroment
    PS2 Linux Beta Release 1 install kit
    Linux 2.2.1 + 2.2.18
    XFree86 3.3.6
    gcc 2.95.2
    Mesa Graphics Synthesizer
    Playstation 2 ( cant determine what this software is)

    check out this screenshot

    It shows someone running gimp,and compiling somthing in kterm

    I wonder what performance is like? A large swap on the hard drive is probably needed.
    IF this becomes available in US I will pick it up.
