Linux On the Wii


I was wondering if it is possible to boot Linux (Ubuntu, Gentoo, etc) on a Wii using a USB drive of CD disk. Is this possible. I have tried to run Wii Brew and Wii Linux on my Wii but it has been updated a few times so it won't work.

If you mean that your Wii firmware has been updated to the point where you can no longer run homebrew software, then no. Your Wii needs to be homebrew compatible, though even then you need to run the Wii-specific Linux variants, you can't run straight Ubuntu or something like that.
