WOW! All this stuff is so interesting! I just recently sold my xbox for a second ps2 (with the apple 2 V2 cause I liked it so much in my other PS2, I like to network (i-link) my PS2's with all my different games like GT3 and stuff, I'm a BIG racing game fan! CHECK OUT V-RALLY-3 FOR PS2! IT ROCKS! lol) but now that the xbox linux project is coming along so nicely I'm really upset for trading it! I don't know jack about hacking or the xbox moding scene. I don't know an eeprom form a MAC assress but it all sounds so interesting! I wanna get another xbox and put linux on it and run a PC SOF2 games server! Would that be possible? With XBOX Mandrake loaded up on the xbox does the built in ethernet function just like a normal network card and be hooked up to other pc's and use tcp-ip and such? It seems to me that buying a 200 dollar xbox (about as good as a 4 or 500 dollar pc!) and loading linux on there and using it as a cheap server/workstation could save me a lot of money and make it possible for me to start up my SOF2 server! I was wondering also, is there an official/unofficial keyboard and/or mouse out that I could buy so I don't need to splice a xbox controller extention cord with a USB cable to use a "pc" USB keyboard on Mandrake XBOX linux? I plan on using my PS2's while the games are so good and pletifull and when the xbox hits it's stride switching over like I did from DC to PS2. I sold my xbox because there just isn't enough games for it right now, and the price is low enough (and the resale price is very decent! I got 150.00 for my xbox!) that when I want to get another it won't be too difficult. I know there is SOME good games for it but nowhere near the amount of quality games (esspecially from 3rd party devs) to compare to the awesome library of the PS2! I'm waiting unless you hackers can come up with a way to put windows on the xbox I'll be all over that!
