Xbox Debian linux..
I've got Debian installed and running on me xbox bugger is I put my gateway settings in wrong during the install and I can't use apt-get until I sort it out.
An surprise surprise, I don't know what file/directory the network settings are hidden in
And before you say "WHY??!", I'm just curious to see how well it runs a HL server

Well it appears to be in /etc/network/interfaces
Static setting doesn't appear to work, but DHCP seems to be working all fine and dandy.

wow! im really impressed, this could be the best half-life server to date with the power/cost ratio see if u can get a q3a server going u could run em at shotgunlan, make an excellent looking stack of servers, you could spray em white and it'll be like the SparC stations never left

rib has a remarkably good point there - cheap, dinky and easy DNS/DHCP/web machine? mid - can you plug a modem into it?rib? wrote:wow! im really impressed, this could be the best half-life server to date with the power/cost ratio see if u can get a q3a server going u could run em at shotgunlan, make an excellent looking stack of servers, you could spray em white and it'll be like the SparC stations never left

all 4 front controller ports are jus plain old USB. You can buy packs of the the little failsafe break thingies (3 for £5), which can easily be wired into a female usb socket. I've done it and my USB keyboard works fine. So if you can run a USB modem ok in linux then the answer is yes.
You get a lot of machine for your money, cos the hardware is so heavily subsidised by the software.
mobile celeron 733, 64mb ram (on stupidly fast BUS), ca. 4Gb of useable HDD space, and a DVD drive for £160
The linux install is a dodgy bootstrap one, you need a boot cd in the drive to fire it up, but it ain't an issue for a server box really, you could do a full install if you weren't bothered about having a partition available for other xbox homebrew goodness.

tell me more about this then, surely an xbox has a nic installed? how else did we play halo last time what "linux xbox" sites do you recommend?
surely if it can run a flavour of linux off a hard drive with a boot cd and be quite stable then it could run a Q3a server on a LAN?
Rib?

is the distro I'm using.
I've got a HL server installed on it now, but I just realised I got 1500 word essay due in 2 hours so I'd better do some work before I start it up
