Linux on Xbox 360
I want to use my xbox 360 both like a gaming consle and like a desktop computer. Is it possible to install linux on the 360? I understand that this setup will not have nearly as many capibilities as a regular desktop, but all I plan to use it for is text editing. I would be using Open Office (Linux version). If this would work, would Linux recognize the USB ports? (I do know that this was possible on the original xbox.)

Linux has not been ported to XBOX 360. Yet.

I would thoroughly read the first 3 links before making an attempt.

Most of those links are for the original XBOX and the one (FREE60) for the XBOX360 is still in development stage.
