This should put the final nail in the coffin of the “Security by Obscurity” claims... a virus that has been written to infect all five of the iPods in the world with LINUX installed...

I’m uninstalling Linux from all my iPods immediately.

So, is there a version of Linux for my Ipod Shuffle? Or is that still Secure?

I read a book a few years ago on installing Linux on a 1st Generation Ipod... Really... The keyboard was problematic but it booted...

No doubt.

I didn't even know you could install Linux on an iPod. Looks like I may have to get one now.

No kidding. People will write a virus for *anything* just to see if it can be done, or to be the first.

But Linux on iPod is a bit more popular than that. I’d say there have to be at least a few hundred around, all owned by extreme Linux geeks.
