It would seem that the linux community is at it again, now developing a fully functioning linux distro for the Nintendo Wii. Nothing is available yet but the features they are planning sound great:
Things we can do:
- Surf the Internet (using the control as a mouse pointer)
- Wii Media Extender, Stream moves, music, etc, from a PC to a TV using WiiLi and the Nintendo Wii in the middle. Think Apple iTV for free.
- Write a document with a regular USB keyboard and print it with any USB printer.
- Email and chat with your friends.
- Use an external USB storage device to backup and play your movies, games, mp3's, etc...
- Play old classic games using the MAME console emulator.
- Develop your own programs and games.
- Control WiiLi from your PC using the WiFi connection.
- Use Willi and the Wii as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) by connecting it to an external USB HD.
- Anything you could possibly do with a regular computer.
Head over to their wiki to see what is new.
