Ipodlinux itself is somehow dead. It uses a pretty old kernel and
isn't of much fun to use. If someone would like to have Linux on the
iPod he/she would most propably create everything from scratch as
quite all drivers have to be rewritten anyway.

And then there is the question of the reason to have Linux on the
iPod. It really isn't of much fun to enter letters with the
clickwheel. And as there is rockbox, which is a far better firmware
replacement then any linux firmware would most propably ever be we
don't have an need for it. Linux on the iPod is just to show others
"look, it works on the ipod, too". That would be too much work for
this small use case of impressing friends.
