Yea well .

1. PS2 linux kit rocks. What do you guys think I am using to post this message.

2. EA the third largest Video Game maker signed an exclusive deal with PS2.

3. HUGE game library. Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, and Much More.

4. Scan Converter hooking my PS2 up to my 21" monitor. 1080 plus

5. 40 gig HD not a wimpy 8 like X-crap.

6. I can keep going but I would crash the forum if I do.

Ive heard conflicting reports about the linux kit for the PS2, and honestly, I have to wonder, why bother?

As a workstation, it just isnt as capable as a basic PC, and for the price, you really cant claim its good value.

I love my PS2, but I wont tarnish my feelings for it by putting linux on it, purely for 'nerd value'.

My PC is for linux, my PS2 is for playing games.

Nothing will ever replace my beloved PC, but I certainly dig my X-BOX.
