A Nintendo DS Running LINUX??

The damn thing's barely been out a couple of months and already there are hackers for the new Nintendo DS. This includes these guys who want to get a version of Linux running on it. I don't know why anyone would need to do this--but I have to admit it's oddly fascinating... I just wish they'd hurry up and announce an IM app for it or a web browser or at the very least Palm-esque software for it.

UPDATE 2.8.5 5:16pm PT: Just a quick FYI, I've noticed a load of hits on this post, so I'm guessing there's quite an interest in seeing Linux on the Nintendo DS. Pretty cool--and here I thought nobody gave a crap about Linux. I'll have to keep up on these dudes' efforts. Who knows, when I finally get my DS, maybe I'll see if I can give Linux a spin...
