An Xbox with [[Linux]] installed can act as a full desktop computer with [[Mouse (computing)|mouse]] and [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]], a web/email box connected to a television, a server, router or a node in a cluster. One can either [[dual-boot]] or use Linux only; in the latter case, one can replace both [[Advanced Technology Attachment|IDE]] devices. One can also connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor. A converter is needed to use keyboards/mice in the controller ports; however this is not difficult, as the Xbox uses standard USB with a proprietary port.
