Everything about Free60
Linux distribution for Xbox 360 consoles
Free60 is a project that aims to run various open source Unix operating systems on the Xbox 360 video game console, however is mainly focused on support for Linux. The project itself is a successor to the Xbox Linux project, which was started to run Linux on the 360's predecessor console, the Xbox. The Xbox 360 uses hardware-based encryption and digital signatures for all of its executable programs, and as such will not run unsigned code out of the box, instead requiring either a hardware or software exploit to execute the necessary software needed to launch Linux.
