If you had just read the *Before using Linux Kit (for PlayStation 2)* section of the web page you would have had NO surprises as they clearly indicate what you SHOULD know and have PRIOR to ordering/installing the Linux PS2 Kit.
Let's keep in mind that this Kit is a very wonderful undertaking for the Open source community and that criticizing is always easy...
We should be backing them up and not hitting them when they are already down (taking this type of risk in packaging this bundle was quite a ballsy move and I'm not sure that they are coming even in their investment)
If we want more products like this to be available maybe we should ease up on the harsh responses and be grateful that *someone* is trying to reach out to us and not only focus on the cash-cow main-stream market.
These fraudulent practices are just making every investor cringe and become hesitant to invest in the market. There should be a law against any act which deliberately causes injury to the reputation of Wall Street and makes the general population lose confidence in the system. Laws against frauds are obviously not enough. We already have defamation laws for damaging an individual's reputation... However, the impact of these acts (Enron, Worldcom, others to follow) will be felt by millions for years and nothing will prevent other financial giants from doing the same in the future. A new law could simply be an extra deterrent.
A year ago, if you had invested 1000$ in beer you would have more money returning the bottles today than if you bought Enron Stocks then and sold them today.

If so ... this'll be quite a challenging contest
