Hi everyone,

Sony is releasing a version of Linux for the Playstation 2 :

http://playstation2-linux.com

It'll be running kernel 2.2.x, gcc 2.95.2, and comes with an 10/100
ethernet adapter.

If anyone gets a hold of this, it would be interesting to see if
PostgreSQL 7.[1,2,3] runs on it.

Talk about making for a cheap database server... (or web server, file
server, ftp server, backup server, etc)

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I know PostgreSQL does run on the PS/2. In fact, I mentioned it at
Sony when I was in Japan in December.

Check the supported platforms list for 7.2 ;-)

It comes with only 32 megs of ram. But Postgresql will sure look good
with the graphics chips in it! :-)
