Although the article linked to doesn't say if the US kit will, the Japanese Linux kit included the HD and ethernet port. Difference here is that the Japanese kit used the external (PCMCIA) version of the HD ONLY, and U.S. PS2s never came in a PCMCIA flavor. I guess we'll be seeing that HD sooner rather than later.
