SCE green lights PlayStation 2 Linux
Open-source penguin of ultimate destruction sizes up to Microsoft in the bedroom
Grrrrr!
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has made a decision that should delight geeks and bedroom coders everywhere. In news that has to be seen as somewhat surprising, SCE will be releasing a Linux kit in the US and Europe.
The American and European roll-outs are scheduled for May of this year.
“Many Linux fans have requested that they would like to execute applications not only on personal computers but also on PlayStation game consoles,” a Sony spokeswoman said.
The kit, which includes a 40GB hard drive and a USB keyboard and mouse, will cost a shade over £150 in the UK, which is cheaper than in Japan or America.
