I have way too much to do this week (I got a lot of paintings need doing and my Wii needs hacking) so VM it'll have to be for now.
Now as far as hardware platforms go that just made a thought pop into my head, I would love to see Haiku for the original XBox, I know the RAM is a bit low but USB is not a problem (for anyone who doesn't know, the joypad ports are just USB with a proprietory shape and go onto USB headers on the mobo). No need to chip either as it can be soft-modded. Maybe one day....
....and then after googling to see if anyone else had thought of this I found a bounty for it:
