It's all about running unlicensed software on the Wii. Anyone can code for it now. And what's more, it has a (rather crappy) Linux loading thingy. Check it out, it's quite interesting.

I think it's cool that you can run Linux on the Wii, and it's going to be a whole lot more eficient with the release of MIKE
