  |
|
Anyone using it on any generation of iPod?
It doesnt look like its supported for the 2nd gen nano(which I'm currently sporting). I've heard that a few people have managed to get it to work with some configuration, wondering if anyone here has? It looks pretty cool, new games added, a nice tux instead of an apple on bootup 
I'm half tempted to ebay my 2nd gen nano and pick up a first gen to be able to get linux installed on it. (Maybe I'd even make a tiny profit from it, haven't looked into it yet)

If I were dumb enough to buy an iPod, not saying anyone who has one is dumb...I would install RockBox onto it. |

As much as I support Linux, I'm with EC on this one. I don't have an Ipod, but my sister has the 30 gig video Ipod and it's pretty slick as-is.
