I just installed linux on my ipod and its just about the coolest thing ever. I can view images on my ipod and browse files and have about 17 games. Its so sweet! And the linux penguin (Tux) appears on startup of the ipod. I can even watch black and white movies on my 20 gig ipod! Anyone else have linux installed?

Is it on your 4gen ipod? Can you really watch movies on it with sound?
EDIT I just saw the release of the video player for ipod linux. Cool.

I thought that porting Linux made the sound quality worse.
