    Are you going to be running it on a Nano or a Video?

    If I were you, I'd just run RockBox, since you don't need the video feature of Linux.

    You can put linux if you want, but all you'd be getting are a few games, which I think are better in RockBox. As long as you follow the guide EXACTLY, then there shouldn't be any problems. ;-)

    LOL It's up to you, really. Both guides show what are the advantages of having it, so just use your preference to chose which. ;-)
