Just curious,

Has anyone tried to run a web server on a PlayStation 2 or an XBox? PS2 has an official Linux. XBox has a hack. I wouldn't really use them for production, but I am thinking about getting a PS2 to learn Linux because I don't want another PC (too many already).

MS blocks Xbox from getting updates or accessing their game servers (can't remember which) if they are running the hacked linux. So unless you want to cripple your warranty, and purchase entitlement, it's probably not a good idea to use a hacked xbox.

How about you convert one of that many PCs instead? The lowest end would do

Running a webserver off XBOX has been done seach google.com for actual sites hosted off a xbox
