The PS2 can allready run linux.

What he has done is get the md5 keys used to sign code. He hasn't released
it, so someone else is going to need to dup his work.

Having the MD5 codes will reduce the need for mod chips (though there is
still a lot they offer) and voiding your warranty.

There is still a LOT of work needed before linux will run on the xbox, but
it will happen.

I would post a link but I got this from usenet.
