linux on x-box
« on: 25 November 2002, 11:56 »
I wasn't sure wether to post here or in hardware... but this is my favorite and it just fits. I found this page that may be of intrest to some of the linux folk here.

 
quote:
Yes, $200,000 and it's no joke, an anonymous donor has put up a price for it. This will be a challange for those Linux hacker, but would it be possible to run Linux on X-BOX? wont Microsoft put their foot down on it?


The X-BOX Linux Project is a crazy idea but very nicely put together by the price for the winner. This project is devided by 2 sub-project, one is by modifying x-box and the other by hacking x-box without any hardware modifications. Each sub-project worth US$ 100,000 and will be awarded for the completion of each of the two projects.

With money as motivations, i hope we could see an X-BOX with Linux by the end fo this year. So if you are a Linux developer, put your keyboard down and start playing.
 


of course the title is wrong, it should say, "and get $100,000" but still, just thought i'd share the link. any thoughts?
