you rtfm

basic steps
unrar the download with winrar
use winrar to extract the files from the stardust.iso
unrar the distro.rar file with winrar
ftp all the files that were in distro.rar to the root of your xbox E drive
run the gentooxx.xbe file on the xbox

you don't

pro has no software installed, it's just a basic gentoo installation.

You can ssh in and execute commands that way, if you want a gui you should install home edition

To install ventrilo i belive you just would have to do
emerge -av ventrilo

But it requires you to download the tar.gz file and place it into a dir for it to do the install.. As they can't host the download.
