A little report on that [in German, sorry ..]:

So Lee, or whoever, by suggesting to boycott Microsoft: Is this really
the neighborhood you want to live in? I don't hope so ...
Oh, please.
Not that again.
I didn't start the "boycott" topic. I was responding.
The initial break in porting linux to the Xbox 360 is going to come with the
subversion or breaking of the copy protection that will no doubt prevent it
from running on the Xbox360, same as it did on the Xbox. A lot of the old
hands that did the initial work on the Xbox are planning to return to work on
the 360, so it's a matter of sitting and waiting. Remember, with such a
closed platform, the first step is cracking the protection, before the
porting as a whole can begin.
Oh .. I didn't know that.
