Linux on a Nintendo DS? Yup, I was a little taken back myself when I first heard about this to be honest. Cool none the less, though.

In the future, the proof of a person’s technical skill will be based on their ability to boot linux on random objects. Those who are able to get a bash prompt on a toaster oven will be gods that walk among us, constantly harping on our choice of distribution.

t’s been brewing for a while, but some these selfsame gods have gotten the DS to burp out a directory listing. The value of this is that when the PSP and its spawn take over the portable gaming world, at least DS owners will still be able to gamely type out “rm -rf” using the keypad and then cry themselves to sleep.
