FATX is the FAT32(?) variant that the X-Box uses as its hard disk AND memory
card filesystem.  Most of the methods of installing linux onto a non-modded
XBox innvolve putting a bad save-game onto a memory card and using that to
exploit an overflow of various sorts in an XBox game to boot arbitrary
software.

Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where
everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified withthe
majority...Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.
