Sony sold a Linux kit for the PS2 for awhile. It was $300 and came with 
a keyboard, mouse, hard drive, ethernet adapter, and a disc with Linux 
on it. The PS2 is rather memory-starved to run as a regular system, but 
i do have Linux installed on mine and it does work. It has been awhile 
since i've booted the Linux installation, but i seem to remember it 
being based on a really old version of Red Hat (say around 5.x or 6.x, 
before the numbers started over with Fedora). When the Linux kit was 
new the software was already quite old. I wish there was a full Debian 
port for the PS2. I don't wish it quite strongly enough to justify the 
effort of making it happen myself, unfortunately.
