Wasn't Linux on the PS2 some way for Sony to recruit engineers? I thought I heard something to that effect - people who bought the linux kit got headhunting calls 9-12 months later.

You may be thinking of the Net Yaroze edition of the original PS1, which was basically a lower spec dev kit for home users.
