An XBOX with 128MB of RAM would run Fluxbox or whatever light env with ease, and with Dillo
and a PSP user agent you could even post into HN. Gemini and Gopher would do it fine,
even with clients written in TCL/Tk. It would be a fine backup PC for either thinkering
or rescueing.
With ZRAM you could almost mimic a 192MB of RAM based device, good for maybe a browser like Seamonkey/IceApe if it could be built without SSE2.
- znpy 2y agooh the days of xbox-linux, the cromwell bios and stuff. I remember some guy soldering additional memory as well. Can't recall if it was 64 to 128mb or 128 to 256mb.

- rightbyte 2y agoXBMC was so good at the time. Haven't been superseded yet in UX. Locate the movie in some network folder and go. XBMC4Xbox seems to be a spinoff but I guess it can't play HD. Edit: And it seemed to have been running the original Xbox win32 interface, not Linux.
- ssl-3 2y agoXBMC was stunningly amazing at the time. It lives on today as Kodi, including the GUI hacks, the weird flaky add-ons, browsing file shares on the LAN, and the strange piracy-adjacent community. It's all there, and on all kinds of devices -- just not on OG Xbox hardware.
