Title: DSLinux

This is a port of Linux to the Nintendo DS. It's pretty sweet, allows you to do stuff like IRC or AIM, browse the web...all sorts of stuff. I'm basically using it as a terminal, to do the same things my PocketPC can do through SSH. I can MUCK, IRC, and IM.

One thing I am trying to figure out is key-based logins, since my password is a pain to type on that touch-screen keyboard. Other than that, it's pretty awesome.

It would be a good idea to get one of those memory expansion packs, though. The DS contains 2MB of RAM. Which...pretty much makes it only good as a terminal. With 8MB extra, you can do a whole lot more. (like...probably use nanoX and stuff)
