It has
DirectX. And a Green Screen of Death

But you can hack it
and run Unix on it.
Not that I have the ability to.
Or the inclination
Or an Xbox

Look
I do a real science. The only one where lab classes can combine vast quantities of hideously dangerous substances with loss of the will to live.

I've heard of
and seen PS2's crash, but never heard of this "green screen of death" anyway other than internet rumours from a screenshot which was posted, which was from a development kit, which is designed to be able to handle untested bug ridden software.

you can get linux for it

that all
sounds like terribly good fun.

to some it is
I think the main benefit of that project, and the (successful) dreamcast ones was that gmaes consoles are sold at a loss, so if there's a way to use them as PC, it could be a dead cheap way to get one. But I think a lot of it it just that they like that kind of challenge and want to annoy microsoft!

i considered buying one to mod it into a little interweb pc type thing
( Dr. Kitteny Berk, Sun 12 Jan 2003, 14:07, archived)

I
already have one. It's the most ace thing I could have imagined.
