Alternative Operating Systems
Beyond gaming, a modded Xbox can be used as a media center with XBMC.
There are also distributions of Linux developed specifically for the Xbox, including those based on Gentoo, Debian, Damn Small Linux and Dyne:bolic.
List of alternative operating systems:
- Xbox Linux is a project that ported Linux to the Xbox.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD have also been ported to Xbox.
- Windows CE
- ReactOS
- A partial port of Windows XP is available on some modding websites but this usually involves removing the CPU and resoldering a different Pentium III as well as a heavily modified BIOS. One advantage over a regular, unmodded Xbox, is the ability to use a trainer.
