Wii running Linux

Short video of Linux booting on my Wii.

It's running Debian/Whiite 0.1a, kernel 2.6.27b-isobel-wii and xorg 7.1 (with nuvalo's cube driver), controlled by a wiimote (cwiid driver) and USB keyboard.
The kernel is bootstrapped from the homebrew channel and starts the system from SD card. X starts (running fluxbox), and Firefox runs.
