We have a guy who wants to come to Software Freedom Day and get Linux<br>
installed on his XBox 1.6 following these steps: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-softmod-your-xbox...for-FREE/?ALLSTEPS" target="_blank">http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-softmod-your-xbox...for-FREE/?ALLSTEPS</a><br>
<br>
Does anyone want to help him turn his gaming system into an expensive<br>
brick, or should I tell him not to bother coming?<br>
