Install An Xbox/Linux Media System In Your Car

AltGrendel writes "Bored during those rush-hour traffic jams? An enterprising UK geek has installed an Xbox/Linux system in his car. With a mod chip, Freevo, a LogiTech Wingman, and a 40 gig hard drive, he has access to music, video, and games during drive time. Details and pictures are here."

Car entertainment centers are bad news...

My cousin had a in car DVD player in his Audi A4, and he greatly regrets this purchase. While driving on the highway during a sunday afternoon he was momentarily distracted by a fight scene in the latest Vin Deisel flick and in that split second his car hit another.

After several surgeries he has regained his normal functions (his left arm was severely injured) but his car was completely destroyed. He has vowed to never install an entertainment system again and his new bmw 330i simply has a standard cd player.

If this is the kind of destruction a in-dash dvd player can cause I would hate to know what kind of horrible accidents will happen due to xbox gaming or linux core dumps distracting one's driving!
