I wonder what kind of apps you can run. Matrix certainly won't but IRC server? Probably

The Wii is comparable to a mid-range Pentium III with 64 MB of RAM - so anything that Linux/BSD could run around 2002 can likely run on this.

Fun fact, my Wii running Linux was my first server. I had a webserver running, and an IRC bouncer (ZNC). Anything outside the standard "it's available on every architecture" type stuff require manual compilation, however, which can take forever.
