Where is Linux for XBox?

[Anonymous Coward]

It's been out for ages. Why no version of Linux for the box yet? I remember lots of little penguin people claiming it wouldn't take long to crack the box and get their favorite kernel running on it. So where is it? Or are Microsoft actually smarter than the smelly unwashed masses?

"porting the code over will be childs play" Yes, of course it will. And there you will be, leading the pack... I look forward to seeing your name gracing the credits for the first port...

Tom's Problem

The only problem


with Tom's hardware is


the ammount of information

that they display


per page, in order

to get as many
advertisment

views as possible

What a badly written article...

[Lazy Jones]

Let me quote:

"The cache has been reduced from 256 to 128 KB/sec, which shouldn't be overloaded. "

???

"As far as memory is concerned, the PS2 has a 250 MHz processor, even if the two are not comparable. "

Huh?

"The wait times in dedicated programming on a dedicated platform have nothing to do with the PC, where the CPU spends its time fishing for information, in every sense of the word. To better understand this, it's enough to compare it with the Mac, which, because of its more closed architecture, also makes do with less cache. "

??? I stopped reading there. I already have a headache. :-)
