   EV>IIRC You talked in some echo about using some version of Linux on a   
   EV>X-BOX 360 Console.   
      
   EV>Does the X-Box 360 have enought RAM and CPU Speed to justify doing it?   
      
   EV>A Friend has a X-Box 360 with a 60GB HDD.   
      
   EV>He says the HDD is about 1/2 full with the games and music CDs he has   
   EV>on it and I told him he could buy an External USB 1TB HDD and I could   
   EV>partition the HDD to several 32GB sections so he can put Gobs and Gobs   
   EV>of stuff on it and he thinks:   
      
   EV>"If it doesn't come from Microsoft that it is 'illegal' to to that."   
      
   EV>I told him a X-Box 360 Console is just a dedicated pc and that all the   
   EV>game consoles from the Atari 2600 on up to what is available today are   
   EV>just dedicated pcs.   
      
   EV>Am I far from wrong?  Thanks!   
      
   Hacking, Instaling linux or modifying it for other purposes, the X-Box   
   is technicaly ILLEGAL And Microsoft has taken some to court for doing   
   so.
