I'm just getting set to install XEBIAN (a Debian port for the xbox) and just wondered what you guys think about the various ports that are avalible for the xbox.
Personally I think its a fantastic way of pushing linux that little bit farther forward in terms of accesibility. The reason I'm wanting to use linux through my xbox is because of hardware issues on my pc (my adsl modem is not supported and I'm to damn broke at the moment to replace it.)
I dare say i'll be in here a lot more as I'm pretty much a newb to linux.

Well, first hand If you have any probs or anything, be sure to ask them in HERE
as for your modem, what version of linux are you using? btw, I think it is a good idea to port linux on the box, as it will be good for linux

That's not entirely true.
In the case of Conexant WinModems (which are extremely popular), all you need are the correct drivers to dial up in Linux.
Unfortunately, these are the only drivers I've ever seen that you have to pay for.
Kind of ironic, really.
As for running Linux on X-Box, I think it's a great idea.
Anything that sticks it to M$ is a good thing in my book.

I did consider linux on my PS2 but it meant paying out for a HDD and I figured my xbox has a higher processing power (733mhz and 64mb ram).
After playing about with xebian/debian for a bit it all seems to be going well so far. I'm just waiting for my ps/2 to usb adapter to turn up so I can splice it into a joypad and connect up a keyboard and mouse.
Good news as well, its my birthday in may and I'm getting my bro to buy me a router so hopefully I'll be running linux on my PC as well
