Once (!) you get Linux installed on your PS2, you can start the X-Clients and have them running on the PS2, then start your X-Server (something Cygwin Xfree86 or similar) on the PC - that would give you a graphocal interface to your linux box, from the PC monitor. I supposed you could liken it to a GUI version of telnet.
