It's better.

Unoptimized Hardware for general computing.
Also the Software itself can't use the hardware.
Liam Gutierrez
i have one and its not that great
Ryan Richardson
don't have a ps2 device
not buying one

>$20 MIPS machine with no botnet
why don't you?

What’s the bootloader/BIOS? I’m interested.
Sold my librebooted x200 for an x220 because I had to run some >proprietary software and virtualbox doesn’t work, I regret it.
Noah Russell
I'm pretty sure you can flash Libreboot
Ryder Bennett
Is it as awful as the ps3 not allowing u to access the gpu and vram?
Why not mod a xbox instead
Ayden Wright
I couldn’t find anything on either core or or libreboot flashing with the PlayStation 2. If anyone has free time links would be cool.
Robert Long
I'm retarded. It was McBoot

i managed to run a web server on my ps2 slim by booting ps2linux_live_v5_pal_netsurf_usb.7z, but everything is really slow and not really worth it. i rather use the ps2 for playing awesome games, linux is already running on my computers.

That shit doesn't even support 1/8th the resolution of my monitor, why the hell would anyone ever use it as a serious machine?

>only supports 2.6 series kernel

Why are you not using NetBSD on a PS2 device, Jow Forums?
Christopher Lewis
can it access the actual hardware, instead of a layer?

if you ever tried doing so, you wouldn't be posting this. it seems impossible to me. care to explain how you did it?
Levi Gonzalez
maybe you could turn a ps2 into a ghetto and probably vulnerable ssh jump host heh

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

576i is not enough for you?
Cameron Wood
because even a raspi outperforms it on almost every level
the ps2 case is sexy as fuck for a workstation tower though
Justin Reyes
ARM is botnet, MIPS is not.
Henry Russell
This but with a first gen xbox. All all its really good for is [spoiler]playing old vidya[/spoiler]
