   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!
