# Look
I do a real science. The only one where lab classes can combine vast quantities of hideously dangerous substances with loss of the will to live.

# I think two groups of people
have managed to modify the hardware to run linux on it. There's another challenge still on (sponsored by the bloke behind Lindows I think) to get linux running on an unmodifed X box, which is apparently considerably harder

But I think a lot of it it just that they like that kind of challenge and want to annoy microsoft!
