Judging from the demographics of this group, I doubt that too many of you have playstation 2's. But I do, and I stay on top of my game. Sony is releasing a linux kit for the ps2 that includes a vga adapter, a usb keyboard and mouse, an internal 40 gig drive with an ethernet card (japanese have to use the external one shown in screenshots, if you have access to an american ps2, open up the expansion slot, that's a hard drive bay my friend), and specialized linux distro for the ps2.
I'm on the mailing list and will be purchasing it as soon as it's made available. The beta is available in japan now. Here's a link, check out the faq if you'd like. http://playstation2-linux.com/ Also, lots of people have expressed concern about it only being compatible on with a computer monitor. All you have to do is boot with a vesa monitor the first time, and from there, you can configure it to use your tv for a display. Woohoo, now I can mount my 8 meg memory card as a partition and store data on it, life has never been so exciting. -- "Be true to yourself and you will never fall" - Beastie Boys ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
