I just noticed this on Friendtech's site, so I thought I'd post it here for my reference too! ;) Thanks aweirdguy, though I disagree over you saying Gentoox has no "entry-level-appeal"!

"This release is much more to the modding community than just another media player. It's even more than a brilliant way to irritate Bill Gates. This is an extremely significant development, as it is the first "practical" installation of a linux-based application that an entry-level user can utilize. There have been previous versions of linux available for the xbox, but none of them have the "entry-level-appeal" of the Friendtech Media Center Edition. This is a piece of software that the "legitimate law abiding citizens" can use to expand the current abilities of their xbox, without needing a "power-user" type of background and previous linux experience. The modding community needs this type of software desperately, as this provides a solid, legitimate purpose to keep modchips legal. It might be a small step in the advancement for media players, but it's a giant groundbreaking leap for legitimacy of the entire xbox modding community. I imagine Mr. Gates will not be pleased a bit."
