X-DSL is a small (currently about 40mb) but fully functional Linux distribution for the XBOX, based on Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org).

X-DSL can be run as a live CD on a modded Xbox or installed to the Xbox hard drive. It will automatically boot into X Windows where you can use your Xbox controller to control the mouse pointer and a virtual keyboard to enter text.

X-DSL has fluxbox based desktop, with applications for a number of common tasks including

  • Mozilla Firefox web browser
  • AxY GTK+ graphical FTP Client
  • Sylpheed graphical email client
  • Naim console based AIM, ICQ, IRC
  • VNC and Remote Desktop clients
  • FLWriter word processor
  • Siag spreadsheet
  • Graphics editing and viewing using Xpaint and xzgv
  • Viewers for PDF, Word and Postscript files
  • emelFM file manager
  • XMMS audio player
  • Monkey web server
  • FTP server
  • SSH client/server

X-DSL can be customised using myDSL extensions with over 200 extensions currently available from the Damn Small Linux repository.

X-DSL would not be possible without John Andrews and Robert Shingledecker's work to create the Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org) distribution and the Xbox-Linux (http://www.xbox-linux.org) developer's work on porting Linux to the Xbox.
