home of the iPodLinux
Project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipodlinux/)!
iPodLinux is an open source venture into porting Linux onto the iPod (http://www.apple.com/ipod/). So far, we
have successfully ported a customized uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) kernel to the
iPod, and written a simple user interface for it dubbed podzilla. Additional applications and modules have been written, adding many capabilities
not found in Apple's firmware.
iPodLinux is currently safe to install on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPods. Development is
currently on-going on later generations of iPod, including the fourth generation
click wheel, mini, U2, Photo/Color, Nano, and Video. Donations always help when it comes to supporting new
hardware. Progress can be tracked on the Project Status page or the blog (http://www.ipodlinux.org/blog). We
are unable to provide support
for these newer iPods.
