I hope soon that Qt is available for this. I know that Red Hat doesn't include it, and this is supposed to be a stripped down Red Hat, but Red Hat does include GNOME, and this kit doesn't, so the rules don't apply. Don't know enough about programming to know if it would work with the kernel out-of-the-box or it would need mods to work with this particular type of Linux.

Anyone know about OpenGL for this thing? The graphics chip specs for the PS2 are frighteningly proprietary compared to the XBox's very vanilla GeForce 3 (or is it 2, I can't remember, but the point is that you know what libraries have hardware support).
