Linux on old xbox

[psd99]

I was wondering if any of you managed to get a distro of linux installed on the old xbox?

I have been considering this so that I can sit down in front of the telly and surf the net and be able to show everyone things on the internet.

Have any of you got it working?

My problem is I can't seem to find one of those old school xpad to usb converters. Unless I snap the wires in half and rejoin 'em.

Any ideas?

Hi all thanks for the replies.

I got XBMC on there already and it is great. I stream my files across and it will play almost anything that I throw at it. I am very happy with that except the bit where I can't browse the web.

Even if it is slow I might just try it out with an old IDE HDD that I got lying around.

Nice pictures mate was that easy to do?

I heard that USB works on 3 wires I will have to do something like that to get a working USB keyboard.
