Do you remember that Xbox Challenge?
Well if you remember that Xbox challenge that wanted to prove that Microsoft was trying to block other OSes from install, someone has done it. An anonymous hacker has succeeded in running Linux on an unmodified Xbox, for the challenge funded by Lindows founder Michael Robertson. On Saturday he posted a Saturday in a message on the Xbox Hacker Web site. Organizers of the Xbox-Linux Project confirmed the method works. Michael Robertson, founder of Linux company Lindows, has encouraged such work with a two-part contest, each part carrying a $100,000 prize. Part A, for the first team to run Linux on an Xbox, has already been met, and a prize committee is selecting the winners. Part B sets aside $100,000 for the first to run Linux on an unmodified Xbox.
