I'm sure with a reformat that the iPod would work fine w/ Linux but you 
would lose the music playing capabilities of the player. I believe there 
is a group working on this problem for Windows machines (FAT32 and have 
music working). Don't have a link on me at the moment but if they do 
manage to succeed, you may be able to get some ideas on how to get it to 
work.
