Actually a group of russian hackers got Linux running on the PS1 long ago.
Moving this to off-topic. |

The first system I ever ran Linux on had only 2MB of memory and an Intel 386 CPU.
I remember way back running SunOS 4.0 on a Moto 68K 20Mhz with only 2MB of memory.
I find it hard to believe Linux today can't run on such a similar configuration.
Granted, one needs to strip out the fat that has accumulated into the kernel.
Personally, I would never use Linux in such a case, because Linux is to the embedded space what Microsoft is to the desktop pc space - bloat. |

Hmm... I guess if you knew what you were doing and stripped absolutely everything out of the kernel, you might get it running in 2M, but it'd be a tough job. I would suggest using an OS designed for small systems, like Contiki.
That actually has a web browser and server and works on 8bit systems. It'd make a great OS for the PS1. |
