I don't really get the interest in running Linux on consoles, except maybe to use them to stream video onto a TV. For anything else it seems like running Linux on a desktop would be more cost efficient.

The only time I tried Linux on console was that infamous Linux kit on PS2. The entire experience can be summarized in one word: lame. However, it could be just me, I have odd relations with Linux on desktop either -- I always seem to use some hardware that is not (and not likely to be) supported and I am have quite a few pieces of software that don't have equivalents on Linux side. I know, I am probably doing something wrong, but Windows just works for me 😉

Best of luck to the Free60 project. It looks like the Xbox 360 will be near impossible to hack. All this DRM stuff sends cold shivers up my spine.

Bah, someone will figure it out. And then someone will do it better.

For something as popular as Xbox360, it won't take too long until somebody hacks it.

In the meanwhile, I am just going to use it unhacked which will also be cool enough 😀
