  • http://iPodLinuxInstl.sf.net/ "The goal of this project is to create an easy to use GUI program that enables Mac OS X user with iPods to install linux on HFS+ formatted iPods while still allowing you to keep and use the Apple Supplied OS."
  • http://www.iPodLinux.org/ "We have successfully ported a customized uClinux kernel to the iPod, and written a simple user interface for it dubbed podzilla. Many additional Applications have been written, adding many capabilities not found in Apple's firmware. Our bootloader allows for you to choose between either iPodLinux or Apple's firmware each time you turn on your iPod. iPodLinux is currently safe to install on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPods."

Information

  • Did you know that Sun (owns the company that) makes the closed-source OS that runs on every Apple iPod? And neither Apple nor Sun, both of which make noise about loving opensource, have any desire to open the iPod. But you can't stop hackers!
