    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 try there that is where you will find the x-box version of linux.
