========== 7) Turn A PlayStation2 Into A Linux PC? Hi Fred, I don't know if you've heard, but Sony plans to release the PS2 Linux kit it's been testing in Japan here in the US. It should be fun to see what people do with this. There's already one website (in Japanese) I found that's apparently running off of a PS2. That site is here http://yoshi.sytes.net/ The kit's said to cost something like $200 dollars and among other things will include a 40gig HD, USB keyboard, and USB mouse. I can see myself jammin' to some MP3's on the home stereo, checking mail, watching TV, and surfing the web all while kicked back in the La-Z-Boy already! ) ---Greg Mathews It's interesting indeed, Greg. This sort of thing has been tried before, but game consoles never had quite enough oomph to function well as PCs. Now, that's changed. The Sony plans are hazy: The official "PS2Linux" home page ( http://www.ps2linux.com/ ) says: The Linux Kit is designed exclusively for the Japanese model of "PS2", SCPH-10000,SCPH-15000 and SCPH-18000. Since these models are for domestic use in Japan, the Linux Kit is only available in Japan. At this point, there is no plan to release the Linux Kit for non-Japanese model of "PS2". Overseas delivery is not available. But there's lots more info here: http://www.google.com/search?q=ps2+linux Click to email this item to a friend ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01C1A3DD.4DA76340 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment Reply-To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> From: "Angelo Sonnesso" <asonnesso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sender: <speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> References: <20020122205002.GA1574 at asmodean.net> <00ce01c1a3b7$d7c15980$3c702041 at tampabay.rr.com> <20020123150558.GB13119 at asmodean.net> Subject: A dumb question Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 18:56:35 -0800 Message-ID: <003e01c1a483$21431500$6778f5cd at angeloso> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-BeenThere: speakup at braille.uwo.ca X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.7 List-Help: <mailto:speakup-request at braille.uwo.ca?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup>,<mailto:speakup-request at braille.uwo.ca?subject=subscribe> List-Unsubscribe: <http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup>,<mailto:speakup-request at braille.uwo.ca?subject=unsubscribe> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Importance: Normal How do you get Linux to connect to your isp via modem? I have configured the network using pppsetup. I asume that you have to connect to the isp, and then bring up pine... Am I off base? I have an internal modem, but I was told that it would work under Linux.
