$200USD gets you USB keyboard/mouse, vga adapter for ps2, network adapter, 40GB internal hard drive (connects using the network adapter) and the linux for ps2 installation disc.
I've heard some good things about it.. but nobody could give me any practicle info on it. I wasn't really planning on using it for incar.. though I suppose that's an option. I thought it'd be a nice desktop alternative.. so I don't have to have my beast running all day just so I can chat, check email etc..

i just checked out that kit --- BIG RIPOFF. I thought it included the playstation.
You can buy the hard drive and usb stuff and download a linux ps2 cd off the net. Just do some googling. Figure in 2-5 hours research to feel comfortable with setting it all up and to know what you are doing. If you have no previous linux experience get some of that first. There are much more cost effective linux solutions for a car or htpc though.
Better (my) solution:
pcchips m758lmr+ - $50
celeron 1.1 - $40
custom case - blood sweat tears
40 gig HD - $40
gyration rf keyboard and mouse - $60 ebay
now that is the same price and a much much better system.
Ad far as I am concerened running linux on a ps2 is just for the fun of doing it and the cool factor. Running it on an Xbox is a bit more costeffective but still more of a cool hack than useful.
it depends what you are after. That's the better for you solution.. I have enough pcs
