Some month ago, I did just copy a *XBOX Linux* with scp to a ordinary 
PC. Both, Xbox and PC booted with live CDs. I did put a new kernel on 
the PC installed GRUB, configured menu.lst and the PC was booting as the 
OS was natively installed on this PC.

Cloneing Linux is more easy than Windoz.

BTW, I did the same with Windoz NT (not from a Xbox, of course) and it 
worked too, basiclly. But you have to fiddle around a lot with the MBR 
and partition BR (and the boot code which is placed there).
