See Xbox Linux Project (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/) for details regarding Xbox and Linux. Or jump straight to the Getting Started (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/articles.php?aid=1&sub=Getting%20Started%20with%20Xbox%20Linux)page.

Check Verifieds for Linux or run a search.

First of all for the most off them u will need a mod chip to run linux on it (ILLEGAL)
or there is one i have heard that takes advantage of a good old buffer overflow so u can run code not digitaly signed by microsoft- but im not sure where i read this i will take a look thru my history for u

but once u create the buffer overflow then u can run ANY code not digitaly signed by microsoft so any distro of linux should be fine :)

follow the guide on the site above and you should be fine running linux. That buffer overflow in 007 means you can now run linux with a unmodded x-box.

If your x-box has been modded then there is an easy way to run linux.

sourceforge (http://www.sourceforge.net) try there that is where you will find the x-box version of linux.
