LinuXbox™ hits the streets

The LinuXbox™ will run a wide range of three games including Penguin Raider, Harry Potter and the Penguin's Stone and the ever-popular Choose mount points, allocate disk space and format for ext3.

The games will make extensive use of monochrome ASCII text display technology to improve performance: "We're keeping well clear of DirectX, SSE2 and 3Dnow and sticking with proven VGA technology to boost performance," says LinuXbox™ marketing supremo hAxx0R486.

The games are currently under development by the Linux Collective and are expected to be functionally complete by Q2, 2057. "They won't actually be finished of course," added the spokesman. "It's part of the attractiveness of open source software that there's never a finished product, but we confidently expect the splash screens to be finalised in the next decade or two.

"This will really give Microsoft and Sony something to worry about. We confidently expect to see the runaway success of Linux on the desktop matched by LinuXbox™ in the gaming arena. Our market predictions show we'll have a market penetration well in excess of 0.0000000001 per cent by the middle of the century."µ
