General Gaming / RE:Linux on Gamecube??

My gamecube is in shambles sort of at the moment...I read your forums and decided to peak under the hood after transforming almost all electronics in my house into Linux ran devices (excluding this computer and a microwave.)  I don't see why it's not *possible* to load a version of Linux onto the Game Cube.  To load Linux on after a quick glance at the Game Cube would require a lot of work onto the Game Cube and more skill than your average gamer posesses.  Very possible...if you just scrap parts out of the Game Cube and make a computer, besides that it doesn't look too promising with out more knowledge of how all of this is made.  I don't see much reason in ever loading a Linux system on a Game Cube, its about as logical as the people who put Linux on an Ipod, the only reason you do it is because its cool and different(The reason I say this is because the Game Cube, yes, no matter how great, is a bit lacking in technology that powers it, I'm not too fond of the 64mb of ram Xbox has either, though).  If you really want a console that can run Linux and games, go towards the Xbox.
