The Register reports that an anonymous donor has offered a cash prize for getting Linux to run on Microsoft's Xbox, legally, by the end of this year. "Is this for real? According to Michael Steil of the Project, the identity of the donor "is known to the project leaders and well-respected," so there seems at least a possibility that the money exists and will be paid up. And finding "a simple and completely legal way to run Linux on the Microsoft Xbox" before 1st January 2003 could be a tall order."
