      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.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom Strkes Again        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 bbs.docsnetservices.com (1:123/140)    |
