Hey all,

I have a friend who uses his xbos as a front end, as I believe many 
people do, and was wondering if anyone is using a ps2 as a front end, 
and if there were any howtos on the subject.  The only post I could find

Any tips out there?
    
Not likely to happen.  I have a PS2 with the Linux kit, and it does not
have the oomph needed to be a frontend.  It's a little endian MIPS
machine running at I want to say somewhere in the ~200-300 mHz range,
with 32mb of RAM.  It does of course have the GPU, but that would have
to be specifically coded for.  It also has to run a quite very old
kernel, which can be annoying.
  
Thanks Nathan, and to the others who replied.  Sound like I'd have more chance making it run on my linksys router (o:  I might go looking for an xbox then....  could someone tell me what the volume levels of the xbox are compared to a quiet pc?  I'm guessing that's going to be the most pain free way to get a quiet(ish) front end.  That way I can just move the pc back to the study where the whirr of PCs are accepted (o:
