Can anyone tell me if it is possible to load and play Oolite on an X-Box (the original, not the 360) game machine?
I guess I'm asking if the game is ported to this type of platform?
I know that the X-Box is Microsoft but it is a game machine not a computer, correct? Or am I wrong about that.
I understand that it is possible to load Linux on this divice but I have never tried to do it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Wikipedia's Xbox Linux page says:
(The Xbox Linux web site appears to be dead.)
Meanwhile the Oolite home site says:
64 Mb RAM doesn't sound overly generous.The Xbox is a legacy-free PC by Microsoft that consists of an Intel Celeron 733 MHz CPU, an nVidia GeForce 3MX, 64 MB of RAM, a 8/10 GB hard disk, a DVD drive and 10/100 Ethernet. As on every PC, you can run Linux on it.

Meanwhile the Oolite home site says:
Commander Skellybones says:Originally written for Mac OS X, ... Oolite is available for Mac OS X (10.3.9 and higher) and PCs running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Linux. It requires at least a 400 MHz processor, 256 MiB of memory, and a graphics card capable of accelerating OpenGL graphics.

Thank you SandJ for the reply.
I have looked at the links that you provided and it appears that setting up the X-BOX to run linux is no simple task, however, I do enjoy a good challenge.
I think the whole process is a little risky so I am going to try and get my hands on another X-BOX console before I try this (I like the idea of a backup.)
If I attempt this I will post back with the results.
Thank you again.
