Linux on the GameCube is steadily maturing. With the help of a PowerPC linux distribution, you can now use your GameCube for several goals described in the project roadmap.

Linux Kernel Patches
The patches needed to build a linux kernel for the GameCube are available for download from the SourceForge project files (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98581&package_id=108737) page.
Latest Kernel Build
(Build 14, 31 May 2005, ChangeLog)
This build always has the latest features, but might not work reliably. You may choose between two different kernel images.
The zImage.nfs.dol (~1 MB) (http://www.gc-linux.org/down/isobel/zImage.nfs.dol) requires a NFS-served root (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-Root.html) filesystem, like described in Setting up GC-Linux with NFS. If you are on Linux, and have already played with NFS, try this image.
The zImage.nbdc.dol (~1.7 MB) (http://www.gc-linux.org/down/isobel/zImage.nbdc.dol) requires a nbd-root, like described in Setting up GC-Linux with NBD-root. If your PC runs Windows, or you are new to Linux, use this image.
Ported Software
See some examples of Ported Software for use with GC-Linux.
GameCube Linux Alpha
This Linux image shows a screen with kernel messages, and, if your computer's network settings are correct, allows telnet connections to 192.168.0.47 (user: root, password: gc) and serves a webpage (http://192.168.0.47/).
gc-linux-alpha.zip (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/gc-linux-alpha.zip?download) (1.1 MB)
This is the patch against linux 2.6.1 needed to build the kernel used in the "GameCube Linux Alpha".

Linuxpreview
Linuxpreview is a tiny application that shows Tux the penguin and the GameCube Linux URL on the GameCube screen. It is a symbol that Linux for the GameCube is coming soon.
Linuxpreview can be launched by PSOload (http://www.gcdev.com/) .

DOL plugin for IDA
This plugin requires a version of IDA that supports PowerPC CPUs, and will give you the possibility to load executables in .DOL format. It has been contributed by Stefan Esser.
