[QUOTE="PowerbookG417, post: 99761"] i have the linux on my 3rd gen a couple of months ago..and its cool i guess...the extra games are nice but i took it off i found there were somethings about it i didnt like, the star ratings i think werent there, which i do use alot to rate my songs to know which ones i wanna keep and which ones i dont want to.. i found that there were some other things that i didnt like aswell such as the fact that it doesnt plac aac files which i do have a lot of and even the odd mp3 file too. by restoring your ipod it basicaly is like formating your computer and re-installing it will remove the linux software and everything will be back to normal. the way the linux works to me seemed like a dual boot machine when you start up it loads into the linux mode loading that firmware and when you dont and boot into the apple side it loads the apple firmware, yet i may not be understanding the background process now its been a while since ive had linux on my pod so alot of my old problems might have been resolved but try it out for yourself and let us know waht you think [/QUOTE]
