Nope, PS2 CPU isn't really even close to it,, the PS does one thing really well, Graphics and sound, as in games... mostly because the whole thing is optimised for just that.. To give you an indication, the Xbox when it comes out, is supposed to be the most powerful gaming console ever released.. and its nothing but a PIII 800 and a geoforce3, which is along way from the top compared to 1.4gig athlons and P-IV 2000 Note that the video of the Xbox is slightly better then a PC geoforce3 (so I read) the focus is more on the video then the CPU, all the CPU has to do, is be fast enough to feed the video (simplisticly speaking) As for the P2 OS, is there anyway you can back it up?? if you can do that, whats the problem with trying??? Perhaps sony sell PS II os on CD?? its worth checking out.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mohammed Arafa Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2001 3:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? cool thanks i am using this info to prove a case to a friend of mine, who was asking about the ps2, since it seems so awesome. got a q tho that he asked, is the cpu on the ps 2 more powerful than that on the pc? coz his first question was if it actually costs cheaper (minus monitor and printer etc) why dont they put an os on it and i told him yes there is linux on ps2 i think the next step would be to give him the links and let him d/l it and install it (if he is so inclined .. i m not touching it and destroying the ps2 os ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert MacLean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 5:51 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? > try this > it's in Japanese (sorry if I spelt that wrong) but there is a link to > translate it to English > http://www.jp.playstation.com/linux/ > > ________________________________________ > Robert MacLean > . > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "shane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 4:57 PM > Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? > > > > well you can start here > http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,s2085867,00.html > > > > but it doesn't look promising. > > > > On Wednesday 26 September 2001 02:37, you spoke unto me thusly: > > > just wondering but is there a mandrake version or any linux > version for the > > > ps2? > > > if yes.. where can i d/l it? > > > and will i still be able to play the ps2 games? > > > > -- > > "Psychic Convention.
