Rockbox or iPod Linux is not available for iPod Classic 80 GB yet. I tried installing ipodLinux on mine, but it crashed so thougt better not to mess with firmware.

Let's bycott Apple completely. And I trust you also will not endorse Macs as apesome hardware-software integration anymore ;-) I wanted a new lappie, instead of going for an 'iSucker', I choose Dell XPS 1330. Know what in US, it comes preloaded with Ubuntu. Here I will wipe 'Widows Vishtha[1]' and install Ubuntu Intrepid. Currently I use GTKpod and GPIXpod to sync my iPod, which I, unfortunately, bought before I set out on Foss journey. And you know what the name of my iPod is Ubuntu, with a big Ubuntu Logo at the backside. Apple just sucks.
