SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The Linux operating system is coming to Sony's Playstation2, joining Crash Bandicoot, Madden NFL 2002 and Harry Potter.

Of course Sony's new offering for its videogame console will cater to a relatively narrow crowd: developers and hobbyists in North America.

The $199 kit, which will be sold at Sony's Web site starting in May, includes a 40 gigabyte internal hard disk drive, network adapter, keyboard and mouse, and ``Linux (for Playstation2)'' Version 1.0 on two DVDs.
