Running Linux on Microsoft hardware has been the ultimate prize for open source fans and a wiki for the Linux Xbox has been created to port Linux onto Redmond's Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles.

If you fancy Linuxing up your console but don't fancy doing the techie graft, then those involved with the project will install Linux on your Xbox memory unit. They take no cash payments for their troubles - but they will accept gifts of chocolate.

A variety of distros can now run on the system including Debian, Mandrake and Suse and has its own set of games - including a Tux vs Clippy battle to the death, reportedly.
