EMC on XBox

[epineh]

Would it be possible to run EMC on an Xbox with linux installed?

I guess the lack of parallel port would be a major sticking point.

Any thoughts ?

hi, just try the livecd or the puppy one...
does emc do usb-controller?

Yeah. EMC would run under linux on an xbox with linux installed. The xbox is pretty much just a standard x86 machine.

The problem would come with interfacing EMC to a driver... You only get USB =)


Edit:
Also, Normal linux distributions won't install easily onto the xbox because of the fact that the xbox does not have a normal BIOS... Special kernel options are needed in order to boot the OS as well. You will need to look for an xbox ready distro.

Thanks guys, kinda what I thought, still might be worth a look, plenty of cheap xbox's around now since the new one came out...
