I used my modded PS2 to install Linux and it was stupid. I believe it's RedHat 7 or 8 (hello Windows 95 lookalike) and pretty limited in what it can do. The only feasibile thing to do with it is to set it up as a home-based web/fileserver.

Installing it was a sonofabitch and getting X to work was just sad. I suggest you scrap the idea of this because it's a waste of time.

Also, that 32MB of RAM sucks. Everything gets paged the pagefile, and is slow as shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As far as I know, external devices aren't supported that well. Not to mention, you'd have to give up either your mouse or keyboard to plug it into one of the two USB slots on the PS2. :/

In short, PS2 Linux is (was) a waste of (my) time. I'm sure there are much better devices that have much better linux support. Want a carputer? Check out www.mini-itx.com

There's nowhere I can't reach.
