NG, I did not say a linux clone of the xbox was known to me, just a surmise that it was possible, and, with the diversity of the linux community, probable.
There are legions of linux systems out there running on Athlons, P-III, 486 etc. Still a small % of the win-space, but every year the numbers grow as does the share.

SpryGuy - Re: "then it follows that there is every reason to think that Linux would put forth a game box as an alternative to the MSFT game box...We no longer live in a world where the MSFT's and INTC's of the world can prevent creative alternatives!"

I sure you're right !!

Especially if Red Hat Linux or TurboLinux or Caldera Linux is used - since Intel owns up to about 5% of these companies !
