"I recently received an iPod Nano as a gift. My Nano is amazingly small, contains a gigabyte of storage, and sounds very good through its ear buds. It didn't take long for me to learn that folks have been putting Linux on iPods for a couple of years now, courtesy of the iPodLinux Project. Granted, the software for the Nano and most fourth- and fifth-generation versions of the iPod is experimental. Linux on my desktop, workstation, laptop, Tivo, and router. I had to have it on the Nano, too. Here's my report how I converted my stock iPod Nano into a dual-booting, sweet MP3-singing, iDoom-playing monster."

Last time I looked, it was the only way to use an iPod to do decent quality audio recording.
Unfortunately, audio recording doesn't work with the Nano...I was a bit disappointed as this was my primary reason to install Linux on my 4GB Nano, but apparently the hardware doesn't support it.

Now that you have linux installed on your ipod, tell us what you use your ipod for. If it was merely for playing music and file storage then it would be a waste of time going through these steps.
