If you want to run XBSlink on Linux go ahead and grad the XBSlink Linux package on the download page!

What do i need to run XBSlink on Linux?
* XBSlink requires the Mono .NET framework and the pcap library (v1.1.1) to be installed. Both are available in the repository of most Linux distributions.
* You need to run XBSlink with root privileges (otherwise libpcap wont work)

Extract the XBSlink Linux package, go into the directory and run:
sudo mono XBSlink.exe

I think the real test in whether XBSlink or Xlink/KAI gets the big JTAG online play vote is how useful and transparent it is when used with FreeStyle Dash or whatever may come. I would LOVE to see an XBSlink client plugin for FSD, like has been announced for Xlink. I think that will be what really blows up this scene.

/standing by in quiet anticipation of what is to come

Yea I finally got this working with kai a few days ago, and I honestly dont know why the community isnt bigger.

The rooms on kai are mainly empty as are the clouds on Xbslink but I did manage to play some resident evil 5, borderlands, blur and the highly populated call of duty series.

Think with some people it will be because of their layout. My pc is no where near my xbox/router and is a hassle to link my pc by ethernet. I have a laptop now that solves that problem but i still have troubles connecting to games. Does put you off a bit.
