Linux can be booted now ... just check out http://www.xbox-scene.com - Linux boots into a network-enabled state, running a web server and telnet, which allows you to log into the box from another machine. It can 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)."

    I've been modded down by the ./ police!

    That must mean that I didn't agree with their views...

    Lemmee check.. yup! I dissed Linux on the XBox with a little something I like to call "sarcasm".

    Oh no! I can feel my karma dropping from "excellent" as I type this.... Oh crap! I just realized that, since I am talking about the post which dissess Linux, that this post too must be dissnig Linux, and will also get modded down.
    Shit! I'm screwed! Ack!

    B is probably correct.. however, Slash does tend to suck a lot when it comes to searching and archiving.

    I mean.. Slashdot stories don't even have the YEAR on them. How retarded is that?
