[CS-FSLUG] Linux on ipod

[Timothy Butler]

Well, if you are in XP 90% of the time, I'd give iTunes a spin. I  
haven't used iTunes on Windows that much but it seems to work about  
the same as the Mac version. It depends what you are going to do with  
the iPod, I suppose. You might want to give the Linux jukeboxes a try  
too and see what fits your needs best.

I love iPods. I've actually been using a 4G iPod 20 GB for the last  
three years. I haven't messed around with the "new features" of the  
5G much, but I have used it and been very pleased with it. I think  
you'll be even more pleased with the 6G.
