Blogging Ottinger (tim)Worthy Projects?
I really was impressed by XBox Linux, and not just in an ironic sense. I think it’s probably a good idea to have such a low-priced machine for a desktop or entertainment center. It’s got pretty good specs, and it’s dead quiet. It’s hard not to be drawn in by the $250.00-ish price tag. Of course, you hope your unit doesn’t catch fire (I understand that they fixed the electrical hazard in the cord).
Well, now they have something like that going for XBox 360 Linux. A guy’s gotta wonder what kind of a Myth TV client it would make. And that’s cool if you can still play the occasional game on it.
I’m not crazy about having to buy additional hardware to enable DVD playback. I hope that the linux version is better for that. But I wonder if it wouldn’t be worth buying one as a TV-connected Linux terminal.
