I recently put my Xbox in my room with a 7 in Flatscreen tv... It has two additional USB ports and crap so i finally decided I should install an OS and us it like a computer....

So pretty heres my question:

what distribution should i use
What kinda apps are kinda like MS Office
A link to a guide for this stuff

Also i know the 7 inch widescreen is a little silly but its the best i can get haha....

you'll probably want xebian and openoffice.org if you want word processing and stuff

here's a link to a good xebian tutorial:

that'll pretty much be all you'll need. i think you can use apt-get to get openoffice, but i haven't tried yet. i might try tonight actually. watch this space because if i do it tonight then i'll post a tut

well installing openoffice.org is very easy. just go into xterm and type 'apt-get install openoffice.org' and it'll do the rest
