Dreamcast runs Linux, Can the Xbox
Lindows CEO funds $200,000 Xbox hacking contest. Michael Robertson is offering $200,000 in prize money in a contest to translate the Linux operating system to Microsoft's Xbox. Robertson said Microsoft's efforts to close off the Xbox are particularly alarming because the game machine is based on the same type of Intel processors used in PCs. Restricting access to the processor sets a dangerous precedent, he said, particularly as Microsoft moves forward with its Palladium project to boost the security of PCs by linking future versions of the Windows operating system with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices processors.

Amen brother! Can you donate an Xbox, I don't have one? More here.
