When your PlayStation2 wants to run Gentoo as well

Firefox 1.5 on Playstation 2 - Photo taken February 22nd 2007
Best is to install on FAT PS2 HDD. Can be run from DVD on Slim PS2, and also installed to USB, and runs from SMB (network) with some initial setup effort. But really the best result is FAT PS2 and HDD. It will install alongside games, no need to reformat drives, just adding partitions to the existing game partitions.

Has anyone tried porting modern Linux to the PS2?
The latest kernel that is working with a full system that I know about is a version of 2.6. Someone has been working on kernel 5.4, but I don't know much about it. (link) They mention that not many devices have been ported to work on the new kernel. They also mention the possibility of running Gentoo on the ps2. I doubt the possibility of running many modern programs due to the lack of resources the ps2 has. Because of the lack of resources, you are probably going to still have to run something that looks and acts like the older distros.
