Linux is Workable on Zune?
The latest reports say that a dude who goes under the name, "MysVidel" has managed to get the Linux operating system up and alive on Microsoft's Zune.
On a forum post, "MysVidel" says he has been working on the "Zune Linux" for quite some time now despite all the bugs, and that presently, his "Zune Linux" has only limited capabilities; for instance it has to be booted while synced. However, "MysVidel" expresses happiness at having got the "Zune Linux" working at least part way. He says, hopefully, he will be able to get his "Zune Linux" released before the competition beats him to it.
As for competitors, sources reveal there has been no dearth of them as the debate on whether Linux can be gotten to work on Zune has been quite a long standing one. The bone of contention seems to be Zune's use of the Freescale iMX31L processor that is capable of running the Linux operating system.
