Speaking from a Mandriva perspective... (YMMV in other distros) Syncing an iPod in Mandriva 2008.1 is not plug-and-play, but isn't too difficult. RTFM and follow the directions and you'll be fine. Moving files back and forth IS trivial and Plug-and-Play if you use Amarok as your Linux side music player. For true simplicity, I like RCA's line of inexpensive mp3 players. They connect as simple USB drives and require no drivers in any OS. Sync is by your preferred method of file moving/copying/etc. I got one from Walmart a few years ago with an SD card slot and more recently for a (now amicably ex-)girlfriend. Both require no drivers. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
