The PS2-Linux groups which are set up at the moment are somewhat full of
people who seem to only be concerned about whether the PS2-Linux kit will
let them copy games to CD-R or DVD-RW, or whether their 'chipped' PS2 will
work with the kit.

Also, the forums are somewhat makeshift at the moment, once the kits are on
the desks the forums will be re-vamped.
