The Xbox Linux Project aims to provide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
An Xbox running Linux is very useful as a desktop computer, as a (web) server or as a node in a Linux cluster.
