Although getting Linux running on the XBox sounds easy -
it's not. In particular, if you get a ver 1.6 box you will be hard pressed
to get Linux installed. Be prepared to spend $ on a boot chip, a
replacement DVD drive (unless you are lucky to get one of the samsung drives),
an upgraded hard disk (10gb doesn't hold a lot of voice mail),
etc.
All in, you will spend $500. For that money you
can go to Best Buy and get a returned/open box PC with more
horsepower.

the Xbox – any intelligent thoughts here? I know the price point puts it above
most users Asterisk outlay (I run mine on a $100 P3
-800) But interesting to see what happens
if people start running video conferencing etc on their home asterisk servers,
and lets face it where else can you buy this kind of subsidized processing power
from at that price. Cheers, Dean |
