    Just curious since I just got a 30gb Video iPod. I had heard and briefly read about older iPod's running linux on them and thus having a pretty expansive ability to play games, like iDoom and etc... I googled it quickly and havent had much luck with the new video iPod, so I was just curious: Is it possible to do this with the Video iPod? If so, is it a difficult process? From what it sounded like, it could be a fun weekend project!

    You can search for iPod Wizard they have a few hacks, but they're fairly limited.

    [bold]iPod Wizard [/bold]allows you to change the themes on your iPod & writing styles etc, and I would say is safe to use..

    [bold]iPodlinux [/bold]on the other hand, is notorious in doing more harm than good to one's iPod - so I recommend steering clear of that..

    Yes, it is an excellent program. I currently have a 'Super Mario' theme up on my iPod, and it looks fantastic :)

    All iPodWizard does is change images and writing styles. It is safe so long as you follow the instructions & is completely reversible..
