Having a front end and game console would be well worth it.
Yes and no, Depending on how exactly the bios is flashed. If you go with the cromwell bios's[1] then no, if you go with some of the others then yes. It is possible to do it in one of three ways: 1) Linux box, total drive used, no xbox games possible. 2) Linux in unused partion at end of drive (>8Gb drives), boot from CD (or saved xbe to bootloader), games playable 3) Linux as a 2Gb file in the save game area, boot from CD (of saved xbe to bootloader), games playable At the moment I have one set up as in case 3 with a 250Gb drive, unfortunatly as the backend is CVS and the frontend erm isn't they don't talk to each other :-( I'm trying (and failing atm[2]) to compile the cvs version for the xbox at this very moment... HTH Druid [1] Reverse engineered containing no MS source code. [2] falling over with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt" but can't find some packages via apt so wont get them either.
