Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer

I'm typing this into KMail using a USB keybaord (and a USB mouse) in front of the TV connected to the Xbox. ... and even StarOffice works quite fine. TuxRacer also runs (look at the new screenhots on the website), but only with one frame per second.
Check out screenshots here."
Pentium III ? More likely Celery^Hon according to this screenshot...
That's exactly what I thought too, I mean, other than that I don't think they'd do that kind of thing on the official page or anything. But, check out this video: http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/pic/xbox-linux2. avi, it's 1:34 minutes long, encoding in DivX 5/mp3 and it shows him setting it up and booting up. Putting the cords in and everything. Fairly Convincing.
xbox linux is ILLEGAL software. The developers have broken microsofts encryption to run their own ILLEGAL unlicenced software. This is a violation of the DMCA, and you could be SUED.
Who gives a flying fuck anyway? BTW, Microsoft seems to be passive about 'hack the box' issues so far(from the net hack for Halo to Linux)...maybe they want xbox to get some more attention in the news?
If Microsoft wanted to, they would have sent the Bill Gates Swat Team and stormed their ass down already.

Actually the Xbox CPU is neither a P-III nor a Celeron, but something inbetween. It has only 128KB of L2 cache (like a Celeron, a real P-III has 256KB), but that cache is 8-way set associative (like a real P-III, a Celeron only has 4-way set associative cache).
