iPodLinux

iPodLinux definition - computer

A version of Linux for the iPod from the iPodLinux Project (www.ipodlinux.org). It adds a dual boot manager to the iPod that allows the user to switch to Linux at startup. The goal is to enhance the iPod's capabilities, including support for more music formats and direct file transfer between iPods. Of course, the main reason is that "it can be done!" See Podzilla.
