Installing Linux/Ubuntu on XBOX 360
It is possible. There is a project, the Free60 project which aims towards getting Linux onto the 360.
Free60 is a project towards porting GNU/Linux, BSD, Darwin and related open-source operating systems to the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console.
It depends on what type of system you have. Zephyr, Falcon, Jasper and Trinity systems are vulnerable via the Reset Glitch Hack.
Consoles manufactured before 16-06-2009 which are running a Kernel equal to or lower than 2.0.7371.0 are vulnerable via the SMC hack.

Is it possible to change the XBOX 360 operating system to any popular flavor of Linux? I recently read it was possible to do this but the XBOX 360 seems to have barriers to prevent people from doing this. Does anyone have any first hand experience doing this so you can assist me?

terdon over 11 yearsFirst google hit for "xbox 360 linux": free60.org/Main_Page. Probably some of the others are worth checking out too.

Arkapravo over 11 years@terdon Have done that, but no one conclusively confirmed anything, have not seen any Ubuntu or Fedora installation on XBOX 360. Rather, all I have seen is "XBOX 360 HAS ADDED SECURITY" !

terdon over 11 yearsHey, no worries, you were not rude at all. The free60 site has three different howtos for Ubuntu.

Griffin over 11 years@Arkapravo No it is a overused word that is almost always used improperly. This is a very good example of that.
