Linux on the Odin 2! (PS3, Xbox, PC Ports)

Big news: we now have Linux OS options available on the Odin 2, making this the most powerful ARM-based Linux handheld in the world. Let's go over how to install it, and why you might want to consider it -- including the ability to emulate higher-end systems like PS3 and Xbox!

** Update: ROCKNIX official builds now have support for all three Odin 2 devices!
