Web browsing on Xbox without Linux

Other than installing Gentoox Linux, I've been searching for some way to have a web browser on the Xbox. This may not be new to those who have been tinkering with homebrew Xbox stuff, but I've just discovered that there's now a standalone browser available called Linksboks and it allows you to surf the Net on a modified Xbox. It is actually a port of the LinksBrowser that works on Unix and OS/2. For those wondering how you are going to type URLs without a keyboard, Linksboks has an interesting way of inputing text using the Xbox controller. I can now finally surf the web on my TV set!
