[Scottish] xbox linux (again)

[alan at nonsite.co.uk]

Hi Ben,
Is it yourself who is co-ordinating the talk for the group?
I'm doing the one at the end of Nov, on the Blender conference.
I can't make it to the meet this Thursday (its my Birthday).
So I'll speak to you at a later date about specifics.
The conference was awesome btw. 
Thanks,
Alan Rutherford

Given that it was an official Sony product, it should have been easier

It came with some extra hardware, but it appears the software was
significantly crippled
