Not unless it is a support operating system. Go to their site and look.

It isn't for linux I'm pretty sure....But you might be able to run it in a Windows Emulator such as "Wine"

If you have a Windows iPod your all set. The file format is FAT32 which Linux fully supports.

If you have a MAC iPod, it can be converted.

Yes but you would probubley have to reinstall it to FAT32 unless you can convert your partitions to FAT32......But I like it just as ext3 :D

Your a little confused. The Linux format is ext3 and the iPod format is FAT32. Neither would have to be converted. The Linux ext3 format supports FAT32 and will read and write to it.

I'm not a guru either and still learning. I try to learn something new every day. Takes a lot of reading and making notes.

No. You don't need to use an emulator. I should see it as a drive. Just like any other USB device.

Try a live version of Linux and see if you like the OS and program.

If you ordered the free CD's from the Unbunto web site, they'll take about a month to get.

The quick way is to download the ISO's and then burn to CD. Unless your on dial-up then it would take forever to download.

There are also lots of web sites that sell ready-made distros of Linux in all flavors, really cheap.

You might want to try several different distros if your going to be downloading.

Remember to get the LIVE versions as they will run without installation. That way you can "test" them to see what you like.

No, but there are others that will connect with AIM and other messengers. Much like Trillian for Windows.

Can't give you any names right now as I'm on Windows and not Linux. Will get some program names and post them later on.
