Cool news about the Wii hacking.

I hope you now know this Wii/Gamecube with OS4 idea will not be possible, even with this new hack. I sincerely hope you know this.

Correct. Not really a shortage of hardware options for AROS though.

They already do (i.e. version(s) of Linux).

Not enough new development will occur compared to the amount of work required to port IMO. AROS already runs on x86, you're not going to get many Gamecube or Wii owners that don't already own a PC.

That sounds cool. You didn't mention AROS there, but just to let you know AROS would not be a good fit for that setup at the moment (doesn't have many programs that would be useful in a car, like a decent media player, but I'm sure it will get these apps sometime).
