It's "Xbox 360" (according to http://www.xbox.com/).
Annoys the hell out of me when even fanboys can't spell the names correctly!

And why always MS vs Mac vs Linux vs whatever. Isn't it nice if people find Linux perfect to their use? For example I do things in Linux which I can't do in Windows so Windows is not alternative for me. No, I don't hate Windows.

I'll do that, but first I'm going to hack the CVS sources for Gnome WM and do stuff I think is cool.
One of the things I hate  about garnome is that it downloads the sources just in time before it compiles.
Once I have a clean FC install to compile the CVS sources on, it will only remake touched files, and I'll only have to do the 2 hour build once.


Can't you just use CVS?
