Linux PS2

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. A PS2 with a linux OS. woooohoooooooo!!!!!!! I went ahead and put my order down for more than just linux. One the hard drive and the nic card mean that I wont have to buy much more when Sony's online gaming starts up. Now I will have a fourth pc to play with.....lol. Maybe ill do something crazy and run a webserver off of it. My only question is how microsoft will strike back. This obviously was an attempt by Sony to screw with its competitor, the xbox.

who says it has to be for work? :)

Recently some kid in the computer science department at MIT broke the encrpytion on the XBox's hardware so if you worked on it you could probably put linux on there too. Bill Gates just might be shitting his pants sometime soon.

ROFL, good one digital. But I have a question for you guys. It's not open source :( It's a EULA... or am I reading it wrong? EULA here

Otherwise, it looks sweet :D

update: My bad. I looked at the FAQ (duh me) and found DVD 1 is proprietary sodtware while DVD 2 contains the open source.... sweet! :cool:

Oh well, slackware is slackware. But the point is you could put whatever operating system you want on the XBox.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
