In fact if it ppietro would not publish mini 2.4.17 kernel guide I think I probbably would not bother do anything usefull with it.

You had to have the Sony boot DVD to run Linux. You still do, in fact - it's encrypted.
and special Network adaptor,
you got a very rare VGA cable. This cable lets you output "sync-on-green" vga to any compatible monitor. I had mine set to do 1024x768 res in 24 bit color, and 1280x1024 in 16 bit color.
It works - but my HDMI monitor is better.
Cheers,
Paul

That's pretty cool. Can you detail a little bit more of what you did to get it working on the Slim?
Cheers,
Paul (aka ppietro )
