A group of programmers working to expand the reach of Linux software to video game consoles and other computing devices on Tuesday released a program intended as a first step toward running the free software system on Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s GameCube. The program, called "Linuxpreview," causes the GameCube to draw an on-screen picture of Tux, the penguin Linux logo. A spokeswoman for Nintendo could not immediately comment on the project.

A question:

I can tell that this is still in the planning/creation stages, but is this program that draws Tux only viewable on a computer, or can we put it on our GameCube memory cards and thus on our GameCubes?

EDIT: Just answered my own question, thanks.
