FreeBSD Ported to XBox 194
NetFiber writes "FreeBSD has been ported to the XBox. "Over the last 2 weeks, I have been working on a port of FreeBSD for the XBox. The port is fully functional. The framebuffer is fully supported, same goes for sound and USB devices (such as an USB keyboard). Only ethernet is missing, currently." The FreeBSD on XBox website is here, downloads included."

Of course this is news. Do you think you can just fire BSD into your xbox and everything will run fine and dandy?
Maybe you should read the xbox linux contest rules:
Project A [xbox-linux.org]
Project B [xbox-linux.org]
This, by the way, was a *contest* to get linux running on xbox, the prize for which was a total of $200K donated by Michael Robertson of Linspire fame.
Strange that he should offer so much for running Linux on "what amounts to a hacked up x86 pc"...
Give credit where credit's due, please. This is super work.

I'm not whining - I really don't give a crap either way. But this isn't a solution by any means.
