Linux on Unmodified Xbox

Here's a conversation I had with Lisa moments ago, mostly by accident:

<paulproteus> Er, that was meant for someone else.
<paulproteus> I mean, you're welcome to read it, too.
<paulproteus> It's actually interesting if you ask me why. (-;
<lisaig_> Why?
<paulproteus> Kevin Rose (supposedely) from TechTV (a then-famous, well, tech TV show) is looking for a co-founder of the Linux On Unmodified Xbox project, "lou-x".
<paulproteus> That co-founder (supposedly; it's hard to figure who's actually who, but this one's credible) replies, "We got smoked by the Xbox-Linux project."
<paulproteus> I came into the LOU-X project in late 2002 and donated bandwidth from JHU and a wiki I ran, and by mid 2003 preferring to help Xbox-Linux.
<paulproteus> Actually, maybe my stint with LOU-X lasted only a month or two.
