Hi
I just thought about this yesterday... the sony playstation (yes, the game platform !) contains a R3000A and 2MB of RAM. It costs nothing... does anyone knows if it would be hard to port linux, or if it is worth ? (I don't really know how powerfull is a R3000A compared to a 486). I think Sony would be pretty (very) reticent to giving away specs.
It could be used as part of clusters through PPP. 2MB of RAM is enough to load the kernel and some computing application.
(and for fun, of course ! hey, honey, look : my playstation run unix :) )
What about this crazy idea ?
