Oopsie!

Does the Wii run Linux?

| Blogger Kiyoshi Saruwatari claims that Nintendo's upcoming Wii console runs
| on the open source Linux operating system. According to Saruwatari, who
| claims to be a Nintendo insider, the company reduced development costs by
| leveraging open source software and incorporating a Linux kernel into the
| Wii software platform. A wide variety of additional features like web
| browsing, video playback, file management, and emulation all run on
| Nintendo's custom Linux operating system, which uses a proprietary
| interface.
