whoa.. that would be badass.. I ran linux through my gamecube before.. but DS? nice..
Aemon, I have many friends that penguin-up their console just for the sole reason that they could.... pretty much bragging rights. Of course its waaaaay more useful and efficient using a desktop, but i dunno, its seems cool installing linux on hardware that wasn't meant for it. =/
