so you got it working, awesome! its sad that we have to dump linux just because one or two particular apps/hardware doesnt work on it 🙁
which is why i specifically see if i can use ANY hardware i purchase in linux before buying, be it a mobile phone, mp3 player, digital camera, etc...
dooby, have you tried running "wine" and itunes inside it? wine is a windows implementation on linux!
I have heard of it but have never used it or even know how it works.
My problem is that I have this HUGE iTunes Library of 100 GB + size.
Will using wine preserve the library? i.e. if I run iTunes from Linux, will it remember where all the files are and what all the settings are.
iTunes is critical for me as I use iPhone and IPod Classic and their normal working is very important for me.
I am amazed that Apple does not provide support for Linux. They abhore M$. I thought they would embrace Linux.
Turns out they are just a big corporation who do not like competition. 🙁
