+'''(NOTE: Wii Linux is several years old and is no longer actively maintained. In recent times, there has been newer alternative hardware platforms released that cover what people used to use Wii Linux for, eg the Raspberry Pi computer. By all means people should play around with Wii Linux still, but consider if you want to use an unmaintained, buggy powerpc-based Linux port or the larger, well-supported environment of Raspberry Pi - hardware that has comparable graphical processing power than a Wii. That said, don't be discouraged from having a play with Wii Linux if you already own a Wii. It's great fun!)'''
