I heard of the iPod linux project ages ago but at the time I didn’t want to risk doing anything bad to my iPod so I forgot about it, but Neil’s post earlier this week reminded me of it. As it turns out it’s next to impossible to damage your iPod if you try it out!

Anyway there was a nice handy brainless Windows installer and everything went to plan. I haven’t got a chance to play around with it properly but it looks pretty cool all the same.

I only watched the boot up screen and tried the MP3 playback. The boot up screen looks cool, and the MP3 playback is alright, it’s a bit slow to start but it’s a cool proof of concept all the same.

I’ll have another go of it later and see what else you can do!

Update: I now see that MAKE did an entry very like this today! I swear I didn’t copy them
