You can buy a Linux kit for your PS/2 :-p

I dont believe the spec's are up to running VMWare however.

Where's Lo. when ya need him to comment?

Since I've got mine "upgraded" as such about 3 weeks back, two friends have purchased XBoxes!

Wait for the morning for Lo to post a comment or two and you'll be hooked :p

183141 2003-10-14 11:21:00 U saying the $400 pack or so. Xbox provides the user able to tap into windows and linux?? It already has a built in LAN and HDD or is this optional??

Ya, exchange it. No sweat. Its noey lemon.

The Ps2 needs a linux pack. Like $200us i just read quickly. It has no HDD at the moment.

183143 2003-10-14 23:28:00 Cheapest X-Box package I've seen so far is for $299 at Electronice Boutique... don't actually know what's in the package... but

1. Modding your x-box will mean you won't need to buy a DVD kit for your X-Box, as well as making it region free.

2. Allows you to install a larger hard drive to play games, run emulators, etc from the HD.

3. At the moment, my X-Box is connected to our lan at home and acts as a portable DivX player, and region free DVD player.

4. It's the only gaming console with Dolby 5.1 surround support built in... makes gaming awesome if you have 5.1 surround speakers!

aaargh! So much more I could say... puts the PS2 to shame I tell you! ;)

183145 2003-10-15 03:49:00 I'm quite sure the PS2 has Dolby 5.1 as well. flyer590 (2523)
