Well, wait, if you want a reliable non buggy way to surf then linux is the only way right now.  

No offense to the devs of linksbox.

Mhm is there anyone who actually uses linksbox?

I tried it but there seem to be no way using it without a usb adapter and connected keyboard...
Anyway it seems pretty unstable and just uses framebuffer output sad.gif

Offtopic: is there a possibility to just run a small Linux with a browser out of a Dashboard as Application?

Linksboks is such crap!  It is always freezing up on me, and the USB mouse/keyboard doesn't seem to want to work.

I would just use DSL (Damn Small Linux) for xbox. WOrks fine, loads fast, and gives you Firefox to surf. And takes very little hard drive space for those soft-modders out there. Yes, you are best getting a USB adapter and use any USB keyboard. Or make 2 cables to use mouse and keyboard.
