Running Linux on an 88MB machine would be painful.

Don't confuse Ubuntu or any other desktop feature-heavy distribution with Linux itself. I've ran linux fine on devices with less RAM than that.

There are plenty of better PPC computers than Wii at least point of amiga computers

Big part of Digi-TV hd recorders are actually PPC compuert, with embebbed linux. Many of them have all the needed components to be full feature computers, it is just matter of OS

CPU is usually at least 300 mhz or better, low spec is 604e if I remember correctly. Ram is at lest 192mb and HD is big

I'ven't found any information wich GPU they use???

Of course, since Linux is only the kernel used by Ubuntu. You probably could come up with a configuration that would run with the limited amount of memory on a Wii.
But would you want to? What features would you have and what software would run on the system?

There's a difference between can you and would you.
I could see using Linux on a Wii, but not for general computing. It would make a interesting media server/playback device.
