Rationale

The Wii-Linux article was huge and crappy. Splitting it makes sense.

I'm still not sure whether this article should be for every distro of Wii-Linux, or just for the deprecated ones. Sge 06:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm probably the only one who still cares about nice documentation, but after getting back into Wii-Linux and seeing the state of this page, I'm going to move deprecated distributions here (and delete the unreleased onesSge 02:00, 21 November 2011 (CET)

Cinux for the Wii

The cinux team is creating a lightweight gc-linux distro. Shall I add it?

PoC

These are small, stand-alone distributions that were merely to demonstrate that Linux could run on the Wii. These distributions are very limited in functionality and are not recommended. Instead, use one of the above distributions (XWhiite, Bliight are recommended).
