What Can I Do With Linux On Xbox
« on: October 21, 2004, 07:28:00 AM »

Hi,

i'm planning to run linux on my xbox and use it as a mediacenter. I know that XBMC already do that, but i'm planning using my USB RF/IR remote (ATI like), and XMBC doesn't support it.
So here's my questions :
1/ Will i be able to use any kind of usb features if drivers already exist for pc linux distribution ?
2/ Will i be able to use any kind of soft that run on any pc linux distribution ?

for the second, im' thinking about mediacenter front end such as freevo, or mythtv.

Thanks for your help
