The free operating system Linux is able to be booted either from flash memory, or (more easily) from a CD inserted into the machine. (The Xbox still needs to have a modchip fitted to allow it to run unsigned code; however these are widely available and start from $30)."</i> <br>Read the <a HREF="http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/articles.php?aid=1&sub=successfully+operating">press release</a>, see the <a HREF="http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php">screenshots</a> and <a HREF="http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/download.php">download</a> it.</ul> About the <a href="http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/">Xbox Linux Project</a>: <p><ul> The Xbox is a gaming console by Microsoft. It consists of very powerful IBM-PC-based hardware, runs a stripped-down version of the Windows 2000 kernel and, for anti-piracy reasons, allows only games to run.<p> The Xbox Linux Project aims to provide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.<p> An Xbox running Linux may be very useful as a desktop computer, as a (web) server or as a node in a Linux cluster.</ul> | XBOX Linux 0.1 Released | default | |
