  Hello,

#  "PS/2" in the subject refers to Sony's PlayStation 2, not
# IBM's Personal System/2.

  Sony announced that they release "Linux kit for
PlayStation 2" in June.  The kit includes

  * a DVD-ROM 
  * 40GB HDD that has 100Base-TX and connected to PS/2 via
    PC-card slot 
  * USB keyboard
  * USB mouse
  * VGA adaptor
  * manual

(See the picture at:

  The price is only 25,000 yen or $210.

  It enables us to write a program that uses the graphics
accelaration.
