Yes, and MorphOS is bloated as heck. Linux runs just  fine on the Wii though, so why bother with MorphOS?

That's amuzing. Linux is less bloated then MorphOS and Linux runs fine on a Wii? Running Linux on an 88MB machine would be painful. MorphOS would work, its the apps that would be the problem. You have to have some memory for those.

Hi,

Morph OS can barely run itself, and only with the right junk. Do you really expect it to run on a WII?

You make um big joke.

smerf

Suddenly smerfs become little blue trolls. Wiis are game machines. They are not that well suited to running a real OS. Even the PS3 (which is light years more capable then the Wii) has limitations when used as a personal computer.
To paraphrase, you're not thinking of "the right junk".

Don't confuse Ubuntu or any other desktop feature-heavy distribution with Linux itself. I've ran linux fine on devices with less RAM than that.

There are plenty of better PPC computers than Wii at least point of amiga computers

Big part of Digi-TV hd recorders are actually PPC compuert, with embebbed linux. Many of them have all the needed components to be full feature computers, it is just matter of OS

CPU is usually at least 300 mhz or better, low spec is 604e if I remember correctly. Ram is at lest 192mb and HD is big :D

I'ven't found any information wich GPU they use???
ACube Sam 440ep Flex 800mhz, 1gb ram and 240gb hd and OS4.1FE
A1200 Micronic tower, OS3.9, Apollo 060 66mhz, xPert Merlin, Delfina Lite and Micronic Scandy, 500Gb hd, 66mb ram, DVD-burner and WLAN.
A1200 desktop, OS3.9, Blizzard 060 66mhz, 66mb ram, Ide Fix Express with 160Gb HD and WLAN
A500 OS2.1, GVP+HD8 with 4mb ram, 1mb chip ram and 4gb HD
Commodore CDTV KS3.1, 1mb chip, 4mb fast ram and IDE HD

Of course, since Linux is only the kernel used by Ubuntu. You probably could come up with a configuration that would run with the limited amount of memory on a Wii.
But would you want to? What features would you have and what software would run on the system?

There's a difference between can you and would you.
I could see using Linux on a Wii, but not for general computing. It would make a interesting media server/playback device.
