Hi,

Newbie question.

When linux is installed does the 360 still play games or does it purely convert it?

I know there may be a u dual boot thing or something but if linux has some app that let you load games like the 360 dash it would be cool

After the install the 360 will work like normal. You need to use the King Kong game with modified shaders to boot linux.

is there a list of programs that run fine under linux on 360? what do most people put on? Ubuntu?

don't be lazy.. i posted a list in a post like 5 topics under this orsomething.. research a little;. We recommend debian .. But Ssmurf also got ubuntu 7.10 to work.. so you can try that ..
