Linux and Mac OS coming to the Xbox 360?
There was a big surprise at the 23rd Chaos Computer Conference. A masked hacker demonstrated an Xbox 360 running a Linux and Mac OS logo on the console, followed by the phrase "coming soon". He used a copy of the King Kong game and a PCB plugged into a notebook to place the logos of the two operating systems on the Xbox 360. While giving the demonstration, the hacker did not say a single word. You can watch the YouTube videos here and here.Source: Golem.de (german)

Anyhow on topic, I still can't understand the constant obsession with getting Linux on every possible device imaginable. What is Linux on your console going to do, who cares? Other than the obvious, look it can be done. Computer hardware that can run an alternate OS, who would have thought!?!
Usually I spend my time playing games on the console I just plunked $400 down on. Not tooling around on a half-assed linux distribution.
