Project Description: The Linux for PS2 kit turns the PS2 into a full-blown Linux server. My intention is to provide a detailed and easy to follow set of documentation (including screen shots where possible) which describes the process of getting everything configured and working properly. As a start, I will be consolidating the existing documentation for the following procedures; 1) Configuring host and client information for basic networking* 2) Configuring samba file sharing for Windows* and Mac 3) Configuring telnet and ftp services for Windows* and Mac* clients 4) Configuring remote X-Windows sessions including links to free X-servers for Windows* and Mac clients 5) Configuring and running browsers (Dillo* and hopefully Mozilla in the near future) 6) Using the PS2 as a backup/archive box* 7) Using the PS2 as an E-commerce server running Web-based applications (Javascript* and Java when available) *Procedures and processes that I already have running in my home network environment With its large disk and great data transfer rates, the PS2 appears to be an excellent resource for anyone wanting to backup other systems. The cost of the PS2-linux kit is very competitive with other backup solutions such as external tape. In my own case, purchasing the kit has eliminated my need to upgrade my Windows '95 machine (in order to increase disk capacity) or purchase a Sun blade, which I had intended to use as an E-commerce server.
