Anyone have the expertise & willingness to talk to a 14-year-old about
the pros and cons of the various gaming systems - Xbox, Playstation 2,
and Gamecube?

The son of a friend of mine worked the State Fair with his father, and
has enough cash left over to buy himself a new toy.

Also, I haven't done enough digging - anyone know how techie you have
to be to get xbox-linux running right now?
