In this detailed how-to article at LinuxDevices.com, Bill Gatliff explains everything you need to do to install Linux on a Sega Dreamscast gaming console. Even the necessary Linux kernel, bootloader, and utility kernel patches are included and available for download. Nuffa those mindless video games ... it's time to become an embedded Linux hacker ;)" First time I saw this was in Japan with VA Japan folks -- very cool watching it boot.

I hear this everytime somebody ports $FREE_OS to $CONSOLE.

Has anybody actually written such a system? I'm sure there exists lots of MP3 libraries. But has anybody actually bothered to write an user interface for such thing? Like download the ISO, burn it and you're ready to go?

That's worth being on Slashdot.
