Nintendo please support dslinux.com in developing a Linux port for the Nintendo DS. Being able to use the Nintendo DS with Linux, could allow for a low cost powerfull computer. Websurfing, voip, email, irc, media player, PDA functionality, are only a couple of examples of the power that Linux could give to the Nintendo DS. Also it will help the Linux operative system to be more widespread, showing how powerfull the open source alternative is.

im still talking to some folks in the development community about the technical side of this port. it is wild to see how much potential this hardware actually has if we can just get the right software running on it.

i honestly never thought this many people would get behind the idea of putting linux on a ds. seeing this much energy for the project is wild and it shows just how much we want to see this happen.

This would be so cool. Imagine having a full linux machine in your pocket for way cheaper than a laptop.

Why not? It is just extra functionality for the users. I would use it all the time for irc
