Actually Sony sells a Linux kit for the PS2 which includes an ethernet 
adapter, a 40 GB hard drive, a keyboard, and a mouse.  It is the real 
thing and comes with extensive docs of the PS2 hardware.  Then there is 
Black Rhino Linux which was developed by one of the firms making PS2 
games.  Their games run under a hidden version of Linux, but it is 
pretty easy to find their Linux system on the net.  It is a little 
weird to start up, you boot off of the Linux DVD-ROM, which loads the 
kernel off your memory card, which then starts the rest of the system 
off the hard drive.  If you are really curious you can talk to me off 
list about what you need to do to log into it from the net.
