XBox Linux HOWTOs

killmenow writes "Following up this slashdot story from a few days ago, today The Register is reporting that the XBox Linux folks have released a HOWTO for getting SuSE 8.0 running. Cool...I may have to go buy an X-Box now." There's also a HOWTO for Debian if that's your style. All of these require an XBox with modified hardware... There's also a story about the XBox online gaming service that implies Microsoft will be scanning your machine to make sure you haven't modified it, but we can't link to it since silicon.com has some sort of stupid registration requirement. Anyone find the story elsewhere? Ah, News.com has a story about XBox Live.

Too bad you cant do this in IRAQ

[Anonymous Coward]

Hello, I am a secret spy for a scerert Iraqi terrorist group. I am posting as Annomous coward because,
If im caught I will be sentanced to death immediately. To hide secret
information from the US, Saddam hussian has tightened up securtiy.
Linux is now illegal along with all other operating systems.
The only OS allowed now is IRAQIX, a super properitry operating system that
is so secret, that when the OS was compiled, all machines containing the
source code were destroyed and the devlopers were killed. Please don't tell
ANYONE this information, I am posting this through a secret proxy server in
the IRAQI desert, this is my last words before I explode my illegal computer.

Fuck The Editors

Fucking worthless slashdot. editors, I posted the story about ms logging into your xbox, they rejected it, and now it's posted. Maybe if you'd look up from the dog dick you've been slurping on you'd notice shit like this. Cocksuckers.

Your post, translated: "Boo hoo! Out of hundreds of submissions, the editors didn't pick mine! Its my god given right to have my submissions selected, even if its very unlikely I was the first one to submit it. Where's my mommy, I need a bosom to cry into now that my /. pride has been hurt!"

Re:fp fp AND got instant Troll Modification

[Darkstar9969]

I don't honestly believe the moderators are THAT quick (you can prove it by Metamoderating but I digress) as to mod my giddy, gleeful attempt at a first post so I could buy a discontinued FP t-shirt from Thinkgeek meer seconds after it was posted.

I didn't mean to waste so many words on what was a light-hearted attempt to have fun. Mod this down too if you want...I have no control over moderators or the scripts that probably help them Troll-ize posts with fp in the subject.

As always, my 20 seconds.....did I wait long enough????

I didn't think you were cool until I saw you spelled Microsoft with a $, but then I knew just how 1337 you really are.

Re:What is Michel Thinking?

[Anonymous Coward]

Maybe he's thinking: here's something I don't like and I'm going to express my opinion about it. And, frankly, a lot of us don't like mandatory registration sites that try to farm your personal information, either. I'm quite certain that the New York Times doesn't "drive revenue" on Slashdot, and I'm even more sure that Slashdot doesn't give a rat's ass about silicon.com.

Um, didn't I say I didn't own a PS2? Yet another case of reading only what you want to, I suppose...
