I found a website that offers at least $500 to anyone to boot Linux on a Wii. WiiLi.org start’s the bounty with $499, taken from the original donations made to the site to get the dedicated server and an additional $501 if it is released before May 15th, 2007. So if you’re a hard core geek that can do the job. Start hacking these cool gadgets.

Here’s the rules:

The first person to:

* Boot Linux on the Nintendo Wii without voiding the warranty.
o Using attached hardware on USB, etc, is fine, as long it is documented what it does and where to obtain/build it.
o X needs to run.
o Wiimote, keyboard, mouse, dvd drive, sd-card and network support.
o Documentation off the code execution technique on the Wiili.org wiki.
o Youtube video and how-to.
o Any files used to do it must be provided
+ Needs to show the full av cable during the whole video to make sure it is for real
+ No cutting out parts of the video
