As much as I love the yaroze the great things about it are also it's
disadvantages. The special PS2 model meant a limited production run, high
price and a premature retail death. Distribution sucks, we had the best deal
with OPM submissions but thats hardly an ideal method.

PS2 linux should enable the users to self distribute via the internet or PS2
broadband network to more than just the other PS2 linux owners, although
even thats looking to far exceed the Yaroze userbase due to Linux-appeal.

I don't think we'll ever get an experiment like the yaroze again tho, the
main component of which was the brilliant community. And...  it's not dead
yet, keep working on those games.
