Rich, "Lowtax" Kyanka and The SA LinuXbox Team has acquired the proverbial powerup and won the game. Now, the SA LinuXbox team is eagerly awaiting their $200,000 paycheck for their monumental achievement.
Instructions for installing Linux on your very own Xbox can be found at Project: LinuXbox.
This isn't too surprising, however, given that the Xbox has been around for centuries. I submit my proof of that fact with Exhibit A and Exhibit B

DLT's are used to make new pirate DVD's, I don't think anybody actually views them.

They're called DLT's, Digital Linear Tapes. Probably somewhat comparable to DAT's, but almost certainly not compatible. DLT's are used in the production of DVD's-everything goes on a DLT right before the master DVD is pressed. Apparently, DLT's are the main enablers of DVD piracy, not DeCSS (big surprise there), so it might be possible to get your hands on a DLT player and maybe even a recorder, if you're into black market dealing.
Anyway, is it even possible to store/playback video on DAT's? Seems not to smart to me.
The only people who make PPC computers right now are Apple and IBM. Apple doesn't produce rackmounts, and these don't look to be IBM boxen. Since IBM released the specs for PPC hardware a while ago, could this be a new competitor for them?
hmmm...perhaps I should have read the real question instead of the title. Anyway, light behind you is BAD, light in front of you (but behind your monitor) is GOOD.
Just kidding. It's best to have little to no light directed at your monitor, to reduce glare, but you should have some light, preferably from a window behind your monitor.
I prefer to compute in something of a twilight setting, but that's a preference thing.
Thinkgeek has a nice looking light. The only troublesome thing about it is that it runs at 60hz. Alas, I do not have one, so I can't tell you anything else with certainty.
a microkernel may not be what linux was planned to be, but considering the "bloat" that is accumulating in the kernel, and the inherit limitations on monolithic kernels, it may be wise to create a linux microkernel which would be developed concurrantly with the present kernel.
A microkernel could be invaluable in the emerging world of embedded linux distros and competition over consumer information apliances.

Finish the project. We'll buy you a new family.
I think it would be far better to turn the monolithic kernel into a microwave. I'm quite sure that doing so would dramatically increase Linux's popularity. I mean, who wouldn't want their computer to have the ability to microwave food or AOL CDs without additional hardware?
Sure I'm white, from a middle class family, but my family is far from disfunctional (and no, that's not just denial) and my social skills are just fine, thank you. The part about being more comfortable in front of a computer is semi-accurate, as I tend to talk to people I don't like, which is of course far worse than being in front of my computer (bless its little heart), but a nice person is by far the most preferable companion.
Also, what's with the lack of description of the more benelolent hackers? I didn't realize that all hackers were malicious. Oh well, I suppose that society will never be enlightened.

ummm....wrong console. Nevermind. The real point is that Xbox is 1337!!!!
3iLL G4te5 designed the Xbox to run lunix and staroffice and gmip and gnu and gcc will compile halo for linux on the Xbox.

Skip the desktop, put Linux in the kitchen!
