Hail Roland,
There's a bug with the 007 game on the XBox (apparently) which allows you to switch to your GNU/Linux CD and run it without a mod chip ;)
As for putting it on a system, it's a popular game amongst people. I've known people to run the OS on DECs, Cash Registers, and I've heard of a PDP-10 too - I'd love to see that one :D
Why? Because that's what hackers do for fun :) I'm going to do it, when I get the hardware: I want to find the oldest laptop I can get my hands on (a relative of mine got an old Commodore one a couple of years ago, so there are still oldies out there), and hack it for months until I get a scaled-down version of GNU/Linux running. I'll not use X at all on it - of cause - but shall make good use of Emacs, I'll tell you what ;) I just need to get my hands on the hardware, and it'll be my pet project for however long it takes me. Why? Well, I guess you may be right: mostly because I can, it'll be fun, and because it's a challenge.

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
