Version 1.13, along with some new changes! Also check out Ultima's pSX frontend!
F.A.Q.

• What is pSX? - Originally a windows Playstation 1 Emulator, it has recently been ported over to linux. The website can be found at http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ Please note that I did not create this software, only this how-to
• Is pSX open-source? - No. It is free to use as in free beer, but pSX author has prefered to not open up the source code. I simply repackage the executable, which also means that as long as you install the correct libraries, you don't even need to use my package. I just provide them for ease of use.
  

About MPD(taken from here):
Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network. It also makes a great desktop music player, especially if you are a console junkie, like frontend options, or restart X often.

About MPC:
A command line tool to interface MPD.

Step 1: Installing MPD and MPC
Step 2: Setting up MPD and MPC
Step 3: MPD and Conky

So your using Ubuntu and you want to share multimedia from your machine to your 360. This is indeed possible! Some of you may ask, there is a number of existing guides about this, so whats different about this one? Well, this guide uses free software and it uses free software that is not encumbered with bugs.

At the heart of the matter is that we need whats called a upnp media server to serve the media requests. Microsoft in typical fashion did not adhere to upnp standards when producing the 360's sharing. So that means right off the bat, upnp media servers will not work. Thankfully though, some upnp media servers have been modified to run in a special xbox 360 mode. The bad news is that these select servers are either not free or not robust.

HP has started shipping a $500 mini-notebook pre-installed with SUSE Linux. Boasting perhaps the largest keyboard in its class, the HP 2133 Mini-Note has an 8.9-inch WXGA display, 4GB of solid-state storage, 512MB of RAM, and a 1GHz Via C7 processor, with ExpressCard and SD-card expansion.

HP's Mini-Note boasts a "92 percent full-size" keyboard, the vendor says, along with unusually large stereo speakers flanking the mid-sized (for a netbook) 8.9-inch LCD display. The least expensive Mini-Note model comes with a 400MHz front-side bus (FSB). The company also offers SUSE Linux on a slightly more expensive ($550) model with an 800MHz FSB, along with a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 120GB 5400 RPM SATA disk drive.
