[CLUE-Talk] Xbox linux?

[Casagrande, Steve]

Is anyone out there running Xbox linux?  I'm interested in picking up one
for a quick web browsing/multimedia engine system, and would (eventually) be
connected to an HDTV in the living room.  I'd love to see one in action, but
for now would like to ask a couple of quick questions:

1.  Is dial-out available to get to the 'net, or only via 100BaseT?  (No
broadband at my house - yet).
2.  What kind of resolution can you get with an HDTV?  1080i?  Or are you
limited to 480i by the Xbox?
3.  Anyone using it as a "connected DVD/media streaming" player?  I'm
thinking either storage of MP3/Ogg files on the integrated hard disk, or
perhaps pulling files off a home network, and playing the media like a
jukebox.  How about Divx or mpeg files?

Thanks,
