Almost all sources say that the processor of the Xbox is a Pentium III, yet Xbox Linux claims that it is a Celeron. I have changed the page to read Pentium III; can anyone confirm either way?

According to the Xbox article the CPU is a hybrid that shares the Celeron's cache size but also shares the bus speed of a Pentium III with its more advanced cache. Perhaps the Xbox CPU should just be referred to as Intel "Coppermine"?--The extreme icon the sandman 06:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That information is incorrect. The Xbox uses a Mobile Celeron (Coppermine-128) running at 733 MHz. Earthsound 19:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do put this article in a subcategory of Linux_distributions called "Linux distributions for Game Consoles"? And is this a good title for this subcategory. Or how do I create a "List of Linux distributions for Game Consoles"? The articles about the distros that would go in this subcategory (or on this list) are already entered in wikipedia.

Perhaps instead of "Linux Distributions for Game Consoles" we call it something like "Linux distributions for Proprietary Platforms" and include other distros such as iPod Linux, various console ports, various cell phone and PDA ports, and ports for certain router hardware in this category. I would be interested in reading about unusual ports of Linux, and I am sure some of our other users would too. I also am not certain, but it seems like there should be some refrence to the current distros that support the 1.6 Xbox, I know XDSL sort of does, as I personally use it regularly, but ideally to avoid origional research we should find an official source for what does and doesn't work.Monsuco (talk) 00:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
