Linux on X-Box???
Laukev7:
You read Slashdot, don't you?
You can get computers at Walmart with Linux (Lindows or Mandrake) preinstalled for the same price, without giving a penny to Microsoft. I know they lose money for each X-Box they make, but why waste all that plastic?

i read an article in Consumer Reports saying that these computers sucked and that you should spend an extra hundred or 2 on a windows computer....i cancelled my subscription right there.

I never did like consumer reports. Some things they were spot on, but some things they are just full of shit.

They may be crap for desktop computers, but we're talking about Beowulf clusters here. Besides, I doubt that the Xbox is any better than those machines, no matter how crappy they are.

however the xbox's lay flat and are stackable. The ones from Walmart are proabably all covered with plastic, making them less stackable.
and MS loses money when you buy an XBox...
and then if you ever wanna player Halo, you have like 20 XBox's
and they are all black and cool looking
etc etc.
