Many thanks for the url queeg. Only a couple of more months until we know for sure!

There is also a quote from that page.

" do not think the graphics hardware will be behing the Runtime Environment. While the SPU2, IOP, HDD, DVD, controllers, memory cards, USB, i.Link and others will not have their specifications released, the FAQ explicitly states that the VU0, VU1, DMA, EE, GS, and IPU will have "detailed specifications" included in the manuels. "

I hope someone is able to figure out the specifics on the dvd controller especially. From what I have read other places including the sony ps2 faq you can not currently mount you cd-dvd drive. I think for security reasons. It would be a shame if you can not.

I do believe I have lost all interest in conversing with you.

I tried to be nice to you, I really did.  But you refused to admit you were wrong about Linux being open source when every link you posted said the exact same thing I did.

I already told you nothing is for certain, even when you cried about not being able to re-compile the kernel which apparently you were wrong about that too.  And in case you are curious there is more than one format for burning DVDs just before you go shooting your mouth off about that too.  Where anywhere in my post did I say DVD-RAM = DVD-R?

You would not let this thread die.  You continually tried to post to make me look bad and all you did was prove me right.

You claim to know something about Linux and yet you had no idea what the GNU project is about or even how it is legal to charge for a Linux distribution.  My advice to you:[list=1]

• Stop posting to this thread b/c all you do is make an ass ( | ) of yourself.
  
• Leave Linux to the professionals.  (that\'s not you)
[/list=1]

It appears to me that you are the ass. I really don\'t give a crap about you, and what you say. I sa in your bio that says you are a software engineer, and since it is there then IT HAS to be true. I have not posted anything that makes you look right, because for that to happen you would need a grasp on technology which you do not possess.
Here are my credentials in the professional world
MCSE, CCNA, Network+, A+

I don\'t have any linux credentials because there is no real need in it. Linux is more of a hobby, and it is probably going to stay this way.

IBM Unveils Linux-Only Mainframes

E*Trade switches to Linux servers

I have 0 interest in e-trade, and if I remember correctly compaq tried the linux sales. Them offering it as an option does not mean that option will follow through. It all depends on how much response they get.  A year from now if there is no public demand it will quietly go back into the woodwork.

Don\'t get me wrong. Linux is a great tool, but the mainstream has not caught on other than it\'s inexpensive apache web servers. It\'s a shame to some degree, but if I want to run essentially a unix kernel in a corporate enviroment. I am alot more likely to go with sun. That way if and when somthing goes wrong I am garunteed a response from a company that has, and will be here 10 years from now.
