Well, I wrote the Linux memory card driver and you are right there is no 
immediate functional use for it. But, tell me, why is anyone bothering to 
port *nix to the Dreamcast?

You won't be able to bootstrap a kernel from it - well not unless you loaded 
some other software that allowed you to do that - but there is little point 
to that.

It can/could be used as some simple (and small) persistent storage. I am 
working on the vmu file system for Linux right now, in fact.
