Howdy! Sean,

IIRC You talked in some echo about using some version of Linux on a
X-BOX 360 Console.

Does the X-Box 360 have enought RAM and CPU Speed to justify doing it?

A Friend has a X-Box 360 with a 60GB HDD.

He says the HDD is about 1/2 full with the games and music CDs he has
on it and I told him he could buy an External USB 1TB HDD and I could
partition the HDD to several 32GB sections so he can put Gobs and Gobs
of stuff on it and he thinks:

"If it doesn't come from Microsoft that it is 'illegal' to to that."

I told him a X-Box 360 Console is just a dedicated pc and that all the
game consoles from the Atari 2600 on up to what is available today are
just dedicated pcs.

Am I far from wrong?  Thanks!
