Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the well-and-probably-software-piracy-too dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Free-X have released an exploit for the Xbox that will let you get Linux on the machine without any hardware mods at all... Microsoft is already threatening them with legal action. Here's the Free-X statement. Free-X say they had been trying to contact MS for a month but were ignored, which is why they've released the exploit. Should be interesting to watch this one."

    Does anyone know how to get Linux running on a PS2 without Sony's special boot DVD?

    Seriously, what beer do Ausies drink? In the US, Fosters is promoted as being the Aussie beer. In the UK, XXXX was touted as being the beer. Which is it really?

    I guess it's like how people imagine Budweiser as being the American beer, but I have never once had a Bud or Coors or MGD, nor do I know anyone who drinks that crap. But then again, I suppose there are a lot of white trash who actually do drink Bud. Poor bastards.
