I'd like to try Linux on my Dreamcast. Can you point me to some
instructions? Are there any ISOs available yet, or is it still a roll
your own?

My Dreamcast boots linux just fine (and has full network capability if
you
have the broadband adapter), runs X, etc. 

Linux has been booted on the X-Box, but the newer released units defeat
it.

Sony has some sort of Linux development kit available for the
Playstation
2. 

As for any Nintendo units, I have no idea.
