−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Linux]]	+	The first Xbox Linux releases were in 2003, and Xbox Linux reached its peak of popularity in 2003-2006. To read more about it, see '''[[Historical Xbox Linux]]'''. Today, Xbox Linux has more of a hobbyist appeal.
		+
		+	The former kernels of 2.4 and 2.6 were woefully out of date. To save the day, haxar has patched a modern kernel (5.8) with everything needed to run a terminal-based instance of Xbox linux. This kernel can be used as the basis for setting up modern Xbox Linux distributions.
		+
		+	It would be possible to use Xbox Linux to bundle Linux setups and individual Linux applications, once the proper functionality is set up. Linux also has applications as a platform for investigating the Xbox hardware.
		+
		+	==Current Status==
		+	A CD-installable distro is currently being worked on.
		+
		+	For a list of the current issues that are blocking functionality on Xbox Linux, see '''[[Xbox Linux Issues]]'''.
		+
		+	For some guides and information that might help you get Xbox Linux up and running, see '''[[Xbox Linux Tips and Tricks]]'''.
