Hi all

I realise this may or may not be off topic. but i wasn't sure who else to ask (big complement to you guys)

I was thinking of getting an XBOX and installing linux on to allow me to play divx/avi/mepg of the network in my house. is this possible? Also does anyone know of what hardware (in addition to an XBOX and HD) i would require? some sort of chip? theres seems to be alot of them and most of them are a bit vague on what they do?

Also does anyone know of a distro that will work with this? i belive mandrake 9 did?? any others?

Thanks

Dan

Thanks for that but i have already been there before i posted...

It doesnt state what Chips i would require.. that why i posted here i thought someone must have done it...

if you do a soft mod you dont need any mod chips.

hay check out the xecuter 3ce it has multipls bios banks to flash to (a linux bios is on the net some where ive seen it) i ordered one from http://www.mrmodchips.co.uk/catalog/...ea48fc63b6(the only site i found that sent the pin header the face plate and the chip in one kit) but as long as u go w/ a mod chip that has a multiple BIOS bank u should b able to boot into linux when u wish to use it and to other BIOS on demand 4 things like game play and such (also do a lil research as i have not yet received mine as far as i know u kan load multiple BIOS on this chip if u discover other wise or i do plz let me know )
