More than I thought! (Score 2, Insightful)

Ok first I thought this was cool. After reading some of the posts here and elswhere I figured that it was pretty limited. I checked out www.ps2linux.com a site mostly in japanese. It appears that a PS2 linux kit is available that contains
10/100 baseT ethernet adapter
A Hard Drive (couldn't determine size)
USB keyboard
USB Mouse 2 button + Scoll wheel button
A cord that as far as I can tell will attach a monitor
PS2 linux Beta Release 1 DVD DISK
- PlayStartion 2 Runtime Enviroment
PS2 Linux Beta Release 1 install kit
Linux 2.2.1 + 2.2.18
XFree86 3.3.6
gcc 2.95.2
Mesa Graphics Synthesizer
Playstation 2 ( cant determine what this software is)

check out this screenshot

It shows someone running gimp,and compiling somthing in kterm

I wonder what performance is like? A large swap on the hard drive is probably needed.
IF this becomes available in US I will pick it up.
