Gentoox Resctoox Description

The original Xbox adaptation of Gentoo The Resctoox edition can be used for rescuing broken Gentoox installations and for reflashing one's modchip/ TSOP. It can also be used to move Gentoox to different partitions and to a Native installation.Gentoox Linux is an adaptation of the popular source based Linux distribution called Gentoo. It is compiled from Stage 1 with full optimizations to run on a Microsoft Xbox games console. Software or hardware mods are required.Gentoox runs along side games - you get 3 choices during installation: E, F and Native. Both E and F create a loopback filesystem meaning that none of your drives are formatted during installation (except for cache partitions). If you choose "Native", then your F: partition is formatted to ReiserFS (making it inaccessible to Xbox applications).Gentoox can be loaded via a .xbe file, or from a Cromwell based BIOS (which can be flashed to your modchip during installation). When using E or F installations, you are totally risk free - if you dont like Gentoox, simply delete all the files it installs (about 7 in total) and its gone.All Gentoox versions are 100% free and opensource. What's New in This Release: · Fully synchronised software (both with magic and portage as of a few days ago). · Ditched RAR file format in favour of tbz2 (file sizes are slightly bigger, but it's free!). · Nifty installer progress bar. · Updated Busybox in all initrds. · Ditched KDE, only XFCE is available now (KDE was way too bloated). · Upgraded to latest 2.4 series kernel. · Switched Home edition to use -Os due to CPU's tiny cache (Pro still uses -O2 as this will give better number-crunching performance) · Removed deprecated packages and replaced with modern equivalents (XF4VNC => X11VNC, GAIM => Pidgin). · Loads of other tweaks...
