More info about this presentation from the speaker:
-------------------------------------------------------------
So what is this Linux for PlayStation(r) 2 kit, anyway?  What do I get, what
can I do with it, and how do I use it?  What sort of cool stuff are other
people doing with the kit?  Where do I get more information and who can
I talk to?  We'll learn the answers to these questions and then allow
the talk to go wherever the group wants to take it.  Live demos will be
available and there will be an opportunity for hands-on experience
depending on interest after the talk.


This presentation will be provided to us by Adam Bertsch of SCEA. Here is
