Gentoox Home Linux
« on: February 18, 2006, 04:12:00 PM »

hey, i really don't know a whole lot about linux, but i do think it would be kick ass to have my xbox as a computer.... i just want to clear things up before i install....


CAN I RUN THIS AS AN APP??? (like from xbox- media center) i still want it to be a gaming machine
do you know how much space this will actually take up?
will i be able to run firefox and other apps like that?
should i (can i) put this on my F partition? where do i put linux apps on the hdd?


how do i run "Wine" and could i use WMP with it?

thanks alot everyone!

i just changed my mind...... i am going to get an xbox off of ebay and turn it into a linux machine...... do you guys have any recommendations for me? how big of a hdd should i get for it? if i used wine could i use like, clonedvd, anydvd, bearshare, ect with it?  does wine work with any windows program? could i get a dvd burner for it?
