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) _________________ Currently being eaten by a system called Oracle9i, gosh it's sticky in here.

no keyboard, no mouse, no InterWeb
cause it's much cooler than a firmware made by apple, of course _________________ Currently being eaten by a system called Oracle9i, gosh it's sticky in here.

Might as well take something that works, is easy to use and supported and make it into something that is "cooler".

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. _________________ Take a look at my Gallery!
