Re: [Xbox-linux-user] newbie getting buried in info : XBMC

[Patrick <th...@gm...>]

Think of XBMC and linux as two seperate apps.  Don't think of it as an
actual operating system for the xbox, unless you want to think of XBMC
and EvoX and Avalaunch as apps too.  linux can be launched from XBMC or
any other illegal hacker dash.  Linux cannot launch any other
applications.

P.S. the thing about having that version xbox means you have a certain
dash version and a kernel that won't let you downgrade.  If you can find
a hack that works on that dash version (certainly not the xbox-linux
hack.  you'll have to look to the dark side for help there) then you
should be fine.
