It's me again! I will now take over the world with my open-source operating system!
Sony Computer Entertainment of America has announced that it will be releasing the PlayStation 2 Linux kit in the States, to the delight of the nation’s geek community.
The open source Linux kit will enable hobby coders to squeeze out threads of PlayStation 2 code in the privacy of their bedrooms and will effectively mean that anyone with the inclination can turn their console to a whole host of new and exciting applications.
This news follows the kit being made available in Japan where it sold out in a matter of hours.
