X-DSL requires a [[Xbox modding|modified]] Xbox. It can run as a Live CD or be installed to the Xbox hard drive. Users have also run X-DSL from a USB flash drive, using the USB adaptor included with [[Phantasy Star Online]], which plugs into the memory card slot and includes one USB 1.1 port. X-DSL boots into a [[X11]]-based GUI; the [[Xbox controller]] can be used to control the mouse pointer and enter text using a [[virtual keyboard]]. X-DSL has a [[Fluxbox]] desktop, with programs for E-mail, web browsing, word processing and playing music. X-DSL can be customized by downloading extensions from the same MyDSL servers as DSL.
