Ubuntu on Xbox 360

Posted: March 25th, 2007 | Author: Justin Nolan | Filed under: Hacks, Homebrew, Xbox 360 | 3 Comments »

The hacker Cpasjuste has managed to get Ubuntu Linux booting on his 360 thanks to: dvd firmware hack, Hypervisor Vulnerability, King Kong shader exploit, XeLL bootloader and linux xenon patches. The latest dashboard update has already blocked out the hypervisor vulnerability, so this will only be possibly with older dashboard versions. Regardless, this will prove useful to a handful, and hopefully help find more back doors for the rest of us. I envision a game of cat and mouse (and many banned consoles) in the near future, much like with Sony and the PSP firmware upgrades.

    Sweet! Last time I saw Ubuntu on this website, it involved the installation of OSx86 ;)

    SOOO guess who installed Ubuntu on his PS3 the other day only to find that it was a complete waste of both time and HDD space?
