do you mean the new second generation like the colord outside nanos?
okay sorry for the double post but i really gotta go and cant wait for a reply but if you talking about the second gen ipods there isnt a linux out yet bc the firmware is encrypted but if you mean an ipod first generation with 8gb done using 2 harddrives then i believe it will still work but i odnt have any hands on experience im only an expert on the nano and the old 3rd gen and 4th gen ipods sorry
