It wouldn't, the 3DS has next to no expansion options. You can't connect anything to it.
"The thing is that its useless and the one who are excited are linux fanboys who don't even use this :/"
No. The majority of people interested in this are interested in seeing what *can be done*. This isn't meant as a replacement of any kind for the 3DS' OS. Those interested in this are not "fanboys".

Even then, there are ssh clients for phones, and the keyboard for Linux 3DS is,er, not the greatest.
And yeah, I feel your sentiment. It would be cool to cross-compile source on the 3DS, or just toy around with it more. OP put a lot of work into this just to get it running, and it really is more of a proof of concept than anything else.
Boot up debian on the bitch. Everything you could want is in the repos. Firefox, VBA, PICO-8, etc.

Basically, I mean, what would you do with Linux on the 3DS other than say "I can do it"?
Idk. That's why i asked. I wouldn't want to run android on 3ds unless i could actually run apks. That's basically what i was asking: can you actually run useful applications with it? If no, then im not interested. Only reason i would want dosbox running is to play dos games on the 3ds. Just having another os running as poc is of no interest to me. Although i know others would be excited about it.
what I mean is, the linux port is r/o to the sdcard, instead of using the entire sdcard, have the user preferences and addition packages stored in a .img or.iso ( or something similar) therefore adding more ability to port/add programs and files to the os without a full recompile. this would also allow for better caching and (maybe) the use of a basic (but custom) pkg manager that points to a repo on github for addons, that then get put in a .img file to store extra data. Also, to answer your question, this is a poc (as far as I am concerned), but in the future, this may actually end up being a start for a full blown linux/desktop os on a 3ds, it may be slow, but imagine baing able to use github or wget, ssh, rdesktop... etc I am pretty sure they already have arm9 or 11 counterparts...
have you tried debian or ubuntu, If not you should make a bootable usb for lubuntu, you may like it...

This would at least allow (probably) easier and faster development... along with the ability to do updates and download drivers temporarily to add to the zimage.

Updating from 3DS Linux (by itself) is currently impossible - we don't have access to the WiFi chip. It may be possible, however, to manually copy the update files to the SD card and proceed to update from there - but why not just copy the updated Linux IMG?
Using chroot to move to use a directory on the SD card may be possible, but I'm probably not the most qualified person to answer that question.
EDIT: Thanks, GBATemp, for not telling me that there was an entire page of posts after the one I just replied to.
Really, it means a lot.

? judging by your "quote", you are a linux user, but also, get more support, and all the required packages are already in repos. nut, get linux on a device, and the possabilities are basically endless, just work w/ wat u got... gtg
What does any of that have to do with whether this project has the Bourne Again Shell implemented or not? This project has no access to any repositories because of the lack of a driver for the 3DS' WiFi card.
