Can morph os run a WII?

It could be done, but it has been discussed and dismissed.

The biggest problem would be the limited memory. The Efika only has 128MB and that can be problematic. 40MB less would really limit some software.

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.

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.

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.
