The first Linux program to run legally on Xbox has been released, says
the Xbox
Linux Project. It is not clear to us what the program, which was created
without the Xbox SDK, actually does, and just maybe all it does is put Tux
on the
Xbox screen, but still, it's progress. The Xbox Linux Project aims to
overcome the best-laid plans of Microsoft's licensing Stasi by developing a
version of Linux which you can get running on an Xbox without having to go to
jail afterwards, and as we
reported last week, it's dangling a $200,000 reward in the quest for success
by the end of this year.
