just outa curiosity what all can u do if u make an xbox into a web server, ive heard lots of talk about it but , could u like host your own web sites or somethin? or game servers if theres one u can do that with or w/e?? i dont have a clue with this stuff but it sounds interesting

On Xebian just type:

# apt-get install apache



After it is installed you put your website in /var/www/


eg. overwrite /var/www/index.html


There is a default placeholder page aready... just replace it.


This only scratches the surface so go look at www.apache.org for more info.

yeah you can run your own website

i have now just finished downloading gentoox 4.0 Home, people say its much easier

but i have a few questions, i have a domain name (www.zozk.co.uk) and i would like to put that one my xbox by changing the DNS server on UKreg.co.uk (which allows you to change the IP address the domain is, for example i tried it with my PC, i put my pcs IP and i had IIS installed, and it worked, i just wanna do the same with my xbox)

and also how can i plug my wireless keyboard and mouse in my xbox

Thanks a lot
kawa

p.s. i just want those questions answered.

now i have downloaded Gentoox 4.0 Home Edition, i have a question again!

i connect to the internet with SAGEM F@st 800, is it possible to connect this to my xbox ONLY, as it is a USB, because i am going to turn my xbox into a server and i need it connected 24/7, without my pc.

also i downloaded this driver for it

i beleive your going to just have to buy another cheap modem with adsl hookup that modem doesnt have a usb out and a ethernet out on the back of it ? because if it does it just needs to have the ethernet going to a routr then the router to ure xbox  and thatll be a 24/7 connection but if it only has a usb to where it goes to the computer youll need to buy another modem

to hook up ure keyboard and mouse its gotta be  a usb hub that plugs into the comp or whatever  like the receiver thing that you plug into the computer for it to work    anyways you get a xbox to usb female connector  very cheap you can get one by Clicking Here
then you hook the receiver into that usb plugin and take the other half and plug it into the xbox port of your choice

The Xbox is bascially a PC. There is nothing special about Linux on the Xbox, it's just Linux. So if you've got a driver for your ADSL modem which works on a Linux PC it should work on the Xbox too. Just try to follow the installation instructions for the driver.

i'd suggest you buy a router and just forward port 80 from the ip address at your router to your xbox. it's a lot easier than trying to get another modem and another connection (i'm pretty sure you'd have to pay your ISP twice for that case).

i've dabbled around with this stuff, but i only have 1 xbox, and it's currently my game console/mediacenter so i can't have it serving 24/7. perhaps when 360 comes out and people will sell their used xboxes for real cheap  

you can also apt-get install openssh so that you can use sftp to add the pages to your xbox-server from your computer. after you do that, you can also connect with ssh and use the command line interface on your xbox from your computer (i never liked using linux on a television screen).

as for running a gameserver. i'm one to "never say never" as it were...but my guess is that the xbox would be severely lacking in the hardware department. there's only so much you can do with a 733 Mhz P3 and a thimbleful of ram.

another quick note, not sure if you're interested or not: if you're running apache2, you can make a folder called "public_html" inside your user's home folder and it will serve all of the pages inside that to (your ip address or domain name)/~(your username). that can get useful if you feel like being friendly and hosting some friend's pages.
