Probably won't be anything beyond 1.6, right? With the next XBox due to get talked about next month they probably won't continue to do much with the older design.
The 1.6b is what I wound up with - I don't know what the difference is, but when my softmod failed, I assumed that's what the problem was. There is a newer softmod than the one that I used though, so it's possible that 1.6b's are softmoddable.
I went to Fry's today but they didn't have any XBoxs in stock!
I had to get the MechWarrior 2 bundle to get an XBox. Kinda crazy, you'd think they'd have supply figured out by now.
OK, I wanted to use Gentoo but I'll check Xebian out. Are you a Debian user in real life or did Xebian offer something specific in terms of doing the install? (Like everything from an XBox controller, etc?)
I use Gentoo on my backend server, so it seemed like a logical choice. I even went so far as to have Gentoox installed and started the "magic" step which didn't go so well.
Reading up on it, d 24 hour compile to get MythTV installed didn't appeal to me though (especially since people reported problems getting it to go,) and a 30 minute install with Xebian (from inserting the install disc to mythfrontend) is tough to beat.
I created a 1.5Gb rootfs on the gamesave partition which was easy to back up for when my 2 year old decides to turn off the xbox and the filesystem gets screwed up. (Only happened once so far ;) Note that this means that I didn't have to upgrade the hard drive or anything, and the XBox is fully functional as an XBox still.
If you want the full details of what I did, they're available at: http://www.mythtv-xbox.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=6
