To the community at large looking for an inexpensive 'server'
Anyone looking over this thread or searching on 'Xbox' for information
on putting slimserver on the Xbox...
It works _great_ provided some considerations are addressed.
I highly recommend visiting the xbox linux project home page:
Squiffy,
I have been reading your mails with interest as I have just acquired a
2nd hand xbox on ebay.
The one thing I don't understand clearly yet is that if I wish to:
A) retain the ability to play xbox games (not interested in xbox live),
B) run Linux (including replacing the hard drive)

I know you can install Linux on modded XBOX, but have anyone also
tried
to put slimserver on top of it, if that works, how about putting the
AlienBBC plugin also, any info will be greatly appreciated.
I think there was once a guy who wanted to remaster SlimCD to install

yes, I only installed linux on one partition (which can be accessed from
a menu item on evox),all other partitions are untouched so I still can

well.

Thanks for the update Jacky!
Now I'm really gonna have to get a big HD and hack the XBOX... Just
wondering, how fast is the music search and does it take long to start

Thank you for the info,slimpy, but I believe it is much easier to do
soft mod now as long as you get right game and tool, actually it only
took me 10 minutes to mod two xbox this afternoon, but that is another
story, what I am really concerning about is how to put slimserver on
top of it.

I agree that the XBOX makes an interesting media server! The HD can
easily be upgraded, it's relatively quiet so it won't drown out soft
musical passages (unlike some of the loud PC fans), it's got the
built-in ethernet. Also, may be able to use it to play AVI/DiVX's off
the HD.

I'm just curious why you want slimserver specifically.

Once you have linux running on your xbox it should be an easy task. Xbox

stock hd if you have the mod chip installed unless you use some
external NAS or USB storage. Probably memory will be a bit on the low
sidebut otherwise
