Today i added Xebian(Ed's Debian) Distribution for x86(I386/I686) hardware.

Xebian, is intended for Xbox(V1{1.0 - 1.6}) Hardware. if you have any questions about how it works, how to use it, or how to install.

Please refer to this forum, The maintainers wiki or Ask myself for information.

Also, would some one Sticky this for it will be known.

What is Xebian?
+-----------------------------------------------------+
Xebian is actually two things packaged on a single CD:

* On one hand, Xebian is a bootable install CD that allows installing a standard Debian GNU/Linux distribution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian) on the Xbox HDD. The installation is accomplished by running a special install script from within the live CD system (see below.) Afterwards, Xebian can be booted directly from the HDD and used just like you would use an ordinary Debian installation on a desktop PC. For example, you can install applications from the standard Debian package repository (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/) using apt-get.
* On the other hand, Xebian is a Knoppix-style live CD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_cd) which you can use simply by popping the disc in the DVD drive. It boots into a preconfigured graphical desktop environment. There is a selection of preinstalled applications, including a web browser, media players, an ssh client, an ftp client, text editors, and the like. You can use all these applications directly from the Xebian CD, without installing anything on the HDD.

The choice is yours: you can either use Xebian as a live CD (with the typical live CD limitations, such as slow disc access and inability to save your modified configurations or update the bundled software) or as an install CD for a full-fledged, HDD-based Debian GNU/Linux system.

+----------------------------------------------------------------+
What Xebian is not
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Xebian is not a stand-alone, independent Linux distribution. Rather, it is an "xboxified" configuration built on the top of a standard Debian installation. When you're using Xebian, what you're really actually using is Debian – the Xebian author has just preconfigured and tweaked a standard Debian installation so that it works nicely on your Xbox.

For example, if you want to keep your Xebian system up-to-date or install new applications, you will have to rely on the standard Debian i386 package repositories. Xebian does not offer package repositories on its own – at least not for anything else than strictly Xbox-related things.

The same goes for documentation: Xebian does not offer any documentation on its own beyond what is needed to understand the Xbox-specific pecularities of the installation. You will have to rely on the standard Debian documentation (http://www.debian.org/doc/) for learning more about common day-to-day tasks – such as system administration, installing and updating applications, or understanding the underlying scripts and configuration files.

Finally, if you have problems or questions about those aspects of Xebian that do not have any direct relation to the Xbox, the correct place to ask is the Debian irc channels, newsgroups, mailing lists, and forums – not the Xbox Linux irc channel, newsgroups, or mailing lists. The Xbox Linux people will not shun you away, but you'll get better and more accurate answers about generic Debian usage directly from Debian-related resources.

Xebian versus a standard Debian installation
=---------------------------------------------=

An HDD-based Xebian installation is a standard x86 Debian system. The directory structure is the same, the packages are the same, the binaries are the same, the configuration files are the same, the package repositories are the same. The differences lie in...

* Installation: Xebian does not use the standard Debian installer (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/). Instead, there is a custom install script that helps with partitioning and basically just copies a snapshot of a preconfigured ("xboxified") Debian system from the CD to the HDD.
* Bootloader: The boot process, partitioning schemes and file systems of the Xbox differ from a standard PC so common bootloaders (such as Grub or LILO) cannot be used. Instead, Xebian makes use of the common Xbox Linux bootloaders, which include xbeboot.xbe (http://cvs.xbox-linux.org/viewcvs.py...linux/xbeboot/) (a plain XBE bootloader), xromwell.xbe (http://cvs.xbox-linux.org/viewcvs.py...inux/cromwell/) (the XBE version of Cromwell), and Cromwell (a flashable replacement firmware for the Xbox with a built-in Linux bootloader.)
* The kernel and the kernel modules: The Xbox needs a special kernel with some Xbox-specific patches and drivers. For example, the system timer ticks at a different rate than on an ordinary PC.
* Framebuffer and X Server configuration: The Xbox has a video encoder (aka "a TV out chip") in place of an ordinary RAMDAC. All video goes through this chip, and its register settings must be adjusted in sync with the CRTC (GPU) registers to get out usable video modes. Xebian is configured to use a special xboxfb framebuffer driver which handles this special aspect.
* Bundled tools: Xebian comes with some Xbox-specific command line tools, such as xbv, xbox_info, xboxdumper, xboxfbctl, and raincoat.
