Message 80437 - Posted: 17 Feb 2005, 23:36:45 UTC

I am thinking of installing linux on my xbox and using it for seti. Does anyone else have any experience in this area? What kind of mod chip are you using? what should I look out for? What size HD do I need to upgrade to? How do you control boot options? what else do I need to know?

thanks for all the help...

Well, the first thing you should know is that Microsoft will put out a contract on you. ;)

If you want to risk that, have a look here:

I've heard that MS is recalling XBOXes (or at least their AC cables), so I'd be more concerned about fire than Bill wanting to sue...
