Linux on the DS Lite anyone?

Zak mentioned to me one time about running DSLinux. He’s probably the only person I know with an M3 card and probably the only one who could run DSLinux if he wanted too. I tried looking around the shops for an M3 card but I had no such luck 
Oh well.
Anyone here reading this post and has actually tried running DSLinux on his/her DS Lite, please share your experiences and thoughts. I am really curious about your setup! Especially now that I got my own DS Lite (at long last!) and would love to see how you made it work, and how much fun you have using it, aside from the games of course.
I have.
I use the DLDI version, which runs without difficulty on my R4 flashcart. (In fact, with the latest R4 firmware, it even automatically DLDI-patches itself.) I believe the only setup I had to do afterwards was edit my /etc/rc.defaults to get wireless working, and the file is quite self-explanatory.
Fun? I dunno. I haven’t really found much to do with it yet.
I’m running the DLDI version of DSLinux on my DS Lite (with a M3 DS REAL card). I didn’t even have to set up /etc/rc.defaults to get things to work properly. I’m currently connected to an unsafe WEP-enabled network with Boa working flawlessly.
