Linux on Xbox without hardware modification...

...thanks to a critical vulnerability in Xbox dashboard. MS is seriously annoyed.

Nice find!

It's interesting to see more of M$'s invulnerabilities cropping up.

Interesting...

Are these the people that were "threatening" Microsoft that I read about earlier?

M$ is should have known this from the start of the XBOX. Im happy playin my XBOX, the loading is fast it has a PIII 733MHz CPU and a 10 GB HDD. Very powerfull, NVidia is the supplier of the motherboard.

Hmm... I didn't know that nVidia made the mobo's crammed into the Xbox, although I knew that they made the GeForce3's that powered everything.

Oh, and XShadowZxX, your a little off on the hard drive specs. It has an 8gb, not a 10gb. But that would be nice if it was, cuz that's 2 more gig's of MP3's that you could stuff on their!

hehe...serves them right for just ignoring this.

lolol... 'Day of XBOX Independence'.

I find it interesting that the dude, according to the text, released this exploit publically because of a bug he reported being all-but-ignored. Wonder if this'll make any software companies take customer service or writing quality code more seriously???






Nah.

M$ = pwnd.... they recently shot down someone who sold mod chips saying they were illegal.... well know we don't need mod chips do we? (not that I would use any of this stuff anyways, I'd probly kill my Xbox somehow)
as for linux, that's awesome! so... how do you run linux and other apps with a controller?

[XShadowZxX]

Yea i estimated it. I thought it was 7. Haha, u need a modchip to run linux. Ur getting rid of the old XBOX dash which is kinda like getting rid of the legal rites on the XBOX.

[Digerat_X]

oic.... then why did that post say you didn't need any modding?
Well anyways, the point is microsoft shouldn't advertise customer support if they ain't gonna listen right?
Maybe they learned their lesson...
