Xbox modding is frowned upon by the ninjas in these forums. There are several other places out on there on the web to discuss this topic though.

If you install a *nix on your Xbox, you can't use XBL. It's a waste of time, anyway. The only things that make *nix distros better than Windows are the price and security, the latter of which isn't really an issue unless it's a web server.
