Post - Ipod Video running LINUX(!)


This is so friggin cool I can´t keep still

So, what I did was partition the ipods HD freeing about 4gigs of space to cram in a linux operating system. I´m gonna get some pictures and stuff up for this because this is a must see!

I have modded the ipod so that the opening screen is a menu where you can select the following;
-mac OS(ipod GUI)
-LINUX gui(!)
-File transfers
-Sleep mode

Not to set you off, I´m not a pro modder.. all the files and stuff were from various sites on the ´net..

So as you can see you can choose which operating system to run on the ipod. which is really cool.

All i´ve done so far is install a few extra games and stuff, but the possibilities are endless. hey, it´s linux

Best part is when you boot linux the coding flurries across the screen
I love having things average Joe doesn´t even know about!

Just thought I´d share the fun
