Talk:Linux for PlayStation 2

message: Who has the kit?
Sony only made a few of these linux kits and they sold fast.  It was only verson 1.0, but I am not sure if Sony is in the process of making another Linux Kit for Playstation 2.
It wasn't lack of sales that caused the unavailablity of kits in NTSC U/C territory, they just sold the entire run of kits and didn't make more.  It wasn't meant to be a wide release anyway. I have a kit and have been using it as a personal desktop since May of 2002.  It was intended for hobbyist development, though there were people using them for scientific computing, like the cluster at the NSCA
I have the kit :-) Indeed, PS2 Linux was just junk. It obviously proved that a game console without games is nothing but a poor, useless computer; a mere 300MHz & 32MB RISC computer without hardware double-precision operation and 2D graphic acceleration is not enough for any purpose. Its only practical use is a small, quiet (but not extensible at all) home server. 219.113.144.250 22:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have the European kit. Window Maker can be seen ugly, but it's efficient and fast. With this kit, I read e-mails, surf on the web, type texts in Abiword, chat in ICQ/IRC and contribute in Wikipedia. I've no tested as a server, but as personal computer the kit fulfills the function. It's very limitated (no KDE, no Amerca's Army 4Linux) by sufficient to be an personal computer. With a modchip installed (DMS-3), you can partition the HD for Linux and HD Loader games. I have a memory card for the system and another for the games. And finishing, is fully possible use DVD drive in Linux, just using a patch. Resuming, it's very complicated and limited for casual users, but a great system for enthusiastics a awesome console game. --Brazil4Linux 13:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

message: PS2 Linux isn't the official title of the kit.  The article should probably be renamed to "Linux (Playstation 2)" or "Linux Kit" or some other combination. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the article, the memory card is used as RAM, but it is limited to 32MB. Can multiple cards be put in a multitap to quadruple the RAM to 128MB or two multitaps to octuple the RAM to 256MB? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.68.192.62 (talk) 03:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The memory card isn't used as ram, the PS2 has it's own internal 32 MB of ram which are used. The access speed on a memory card is VERY slow and using it for ram would be very impractical. A ps2 memory card also only has 8 MB of space, not 32. Mr toasty 03:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
