Linux for PS2??

[ATIRAGEPRO]

I've heard of it being done before, but no matter how many times I Google it, I can't find it.

I'd like to start making one. Anyone care to join? :nerd:

There was an official PS2 kit released a while back. Any more info then that I don't know.

what would be the point of putting Linix on your ps2?

"Wilt thou askest unto foolish questioning?..."

What POINT?? Well... For one... PS2 has 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 firewire 400 port, (The i port, lol) you can use a DSL modem in one of those ports, and you can add an additional Hard drive to the PS2 for only 30 bucks! this is the closest thing to a PC that could ever come of a Console for crying out loud, and you ask what the point is? It's cool! That's the point!

Hey relax man I was just asking.

It does sound cool though. I might be interested if it doesn't cost anything.

hmm looks like they are no longer selling it in northamerica, if you want to get it going you might need a PAL ps2 or check the forums on the site above
