This post will show you how to install iPodLinux from Ubuntu; however, this post still applies to Windows. The reason I chose to show the installation from Linux is because it is a little more difficult to get the installer running then in Windows.

The iPodLinux Project is an open source project that has ported Linux to the iPod. iPodLinux…

His laptop gets terrible battery life in Ubuntu (around 45 minutes) where as I have a newer extended battery which allows me to get around 4 hours running Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu).
