Gentoo has been adapted for use on the original Xbox gaming console.
Gentoox Linux is a well-known source-based Linux distribution that has been specifically adapted to run on Microsoft Xbox games console. It is compiled from Stage 1 with full optimizations to deliver peak performance in the console environment, without the need for any software or hardware modifications.
During installation, you get three options to choose from: E, F and Native. Both E and F installations create a loopback filesystem, where no drives will be formatted (except for cache partitions). The Native option, on the other hand, formats your F: partition to ReiserFS and makes it inaccessible to Xbox applications.
Gentoox can be loaded via a .xbe file, or from a Cromwell based BIOS that can be flashed to your modchip during installation. If you choose E or F installation, you are fully protected - if you do not like Gentoox, you can simply delete all the files it installs (there are only seven files in total) and it is gone.
In conclusion, Gentoox is an open-source software that is 100% free and perfect for running alongside games. Choose the Pro Edition for the ultimate development experience, and enjoy the freedom to create a customised environment that matches your work style and requirements.
