I've been testing out what my Ps2 can do with an old hard drive I have, but i'm wondering if anyone knows where I could an operating system I could install on to.

I use Swap Magic, so anything I burn to CDR must be bootable and installed with Swap Magic.

Thanks.

Do you mean a real OS or just some sort of program to manage games on it? Because if that's the case, you're looking for HDLoader instead of Linux. Thoguh, Linux is an OS that work on the PS2. :)

yeah HDLoader is what you are after for games, though from the way you've worded it I assumed you meant an OS... but you can get HDLoader from http://wwww.sksapps.com/ :)
