Actually I suggest you abandon Linux on the Xbox for this task and go with
Xbox Media Center, which is an open source dashboard application for the
Xbox but runs as a native Xbox application. It will do everything you want
it to do and a whole lot more, add in the xbox remote and you have the most
efficent, effective, and idiot proof solution for what you want.
