Linux - on wii

[kaitora]

so there is no real point to running linux on a wii then?

 

[killtheoldway]

noo, im just keeping my wii as it is! i have a laptop! y do i want my wii to be like another computer?

 

[Sabretooth Penguin]

you would never be able to fit it on the memory of an SD card....

 

[badboykane]

Yes you would, most Linux are only around 700mb, most people have at least 1gb one.
In fact the GC linux is only a few meg.

 

[killtheoldway]

haa yeh but what exactly does the GC one do then? not much i would guess! Heh heh heh

 

[badboykane]

None of them do much on a console, similar to the PS2 one.

The only time they are useful is if you have a HD to store it on and it is used as an actual OS like on the PS3 because then you can actually do stuff with it.

im not tht bohtered by it then, id rather have a wii thats a wii, not a wii with linux that does jack!

 

[beerbert]

itll be alright but not amazing and i will never modd my wii cuz if it gets mucked up while its being modded ur buggered

 

[kaitora]

well i don't see any point on linux on the wii... i've already got it on my laptop... but my desktop is going to be vista when i get the time to upgrade it

 

[killtheoldway]

vista best bought pre-loaded just to warn you!, but it is fantastic, as far as kinux goes great initiative, dont get along with it tho!

 

[badboykane]

If you get Vista get Vista Ultimate, I have been using it for a few months now and is great. The dreamscenes on Ultimate are really nice.

Why buy it pre-loaded, just install it yourself, it is so easy, just like installing any OS

 

[killtheoldway]

yeh but some people have had problems with drivers and stuff my friends have so i was just warning them, i only have vista home premium.

I have tried linux on my xbox and i could use firefox, usb keyboard some word like program and something like paint. But i have also tried win ce on it (couldn't do anything). With linux on a xbox you can use it exactly like a linux computer. That's what wiili want's to. But the biggest step they are trying to make is hack the wii so it supports homebrew.

Vista is shit. Use XP or Linux

 

[killtheoldway]
