My 13 year old 8th grade son runs Linux on his Xbox, and Hercules on our desktop Linux systems. I'll have to ask him if he ever got around to running Herc and MVS on his Xbox. I'm pretty sure he did, but I can't keep up with all the neat stuff he does. The biggest pain about running Linux on the Xbox is the on screen keyboard that you have to use.
For anyone thinking running Hercules is too much trouble or too hard or whatever, I came home from work one day and he had MVS running under VM under Hercules on Linux. He had gotten all the information about how to do this from the Internet. When he complained about MVS console configuration and figuring out how to get it to work with VM, I knew he had felt all the pain he ever needed to feel about mainframes.

(laughs maniacally) It sounds like the "all purpose" game system that can do all of the computing chores within a household-- so the XBox 360 takes care of the "full circle"... Sounds familiar, don't it? Now all we need is a S/360 (390, zSeries) emulator on it...
