Zune Running Linux
With the Freescale iMX31L processor, we already knew Zune could run Linux - but who was gonna be the first to try? Well, according to one fearless warranty-voiding individual, that prospect is now at least one step closer to reality. In a post on ZuneBoards, “Mys Videl” claims that he’s managed to get Linux on Zune “partway working,” currently only able to be booted while synced and with limited capabilities. While Videl’s not willing to let the secret loose just yet (or even provide pics of it in action for that matter) he is promising to release it as open source when its finished, and open it up to beta testing before that. Exactly when that might happen, he isn’t saying.

I say “congratz!”…., and when he releases this I’ll be the first to try it (Unless it involves deleting all my Music and Vids (which it probably will). I just have to much and I’m to lazy to copy my stuff back over.
