Will PS2 be able to play VCD/SVCD

[kleinbull]

I once saw an ad for a plug in module that would allow the PS to play VCD/SVCD. I haven't seen anything like that for the PS2. I have heard that they are coming out with a Linux development kit that comes with a hard drive.

So, if I install this, will I be able to run the same type media apps that windows runs for viewing different video/audio formats? anyone know?
