If you've got an old PS2 lying around and can't bare to wait for the next jaulbreak to happen, Megaman and his team have released a new Linux disc to the older system.

While I'm fully aware that this isn't exactly PS3 news, I think this is something that is at the very least worth posting about simply because it could be of great use to anybody involved within the scene. While you might be scratching you head at this a little bit, believe it or not, PS2 Linux has actually existed for some time now. With Version two being released almost two years ago, the software seemed primed for an upgrade. Needless to say I can assure you that Megaman and his pals delivered big this time.

Instead of being able to only run this on a modded PS2, this latest disc has the capability of working on any and all versions of the hardware including the slimline versions. This is a great chance for anybody pining for a PS3 jailbreak to give their hearts a rest and try out something new. The functionality of the operating system on PS2 is actually quite robust given the age of the hardware. From Youtube to web browsing to emulators, this disc will allow you to do all of that and more once installed and booted from an internal hard drive. Talk about a way to bring your old systems back from the dead! If you're able to do so and are intrigued, this project is definitely worth looking into.
