Here is a good place to start :thumbsup2: http://playstation2-...rum/?group_id=1 I think there is a version of Yellow dog linux that fits on PS2 and also there is a modded version of Fedoracore 5.

Much appreciated

^^ You might wanna do more looking. Also You need a network adapter and a HDD, along with a keyboard and mouse. Oh and if you dont have the legit verison of the PS2 Linux kit which is like 300 bucks on ebay then you will also need a mod chip. When you get all of those PM me and I will tell you.

It wont work with softmods. becase you must put in first linux cd then 2nd then first then 2nd cd again. It was an extra security step. Anyways the only way is modchip, or the legit way. Swap magic wont work and neither will hdloader.
