The following Simplified Diagram represents my efforts to write programs for the iPod.

1) "I'd like to write programs for my new iPod!"
2) (Weeks of Bullshit, Swearing, and Forgetting the Fucking -p Option.)
3) Two Apple Products, Four Operating Systems achieved

I now have both an Apple OS and a Linux OS installed an functioning on both my iPod and my G4 Powerbook, the RadioMac. Why, you ask, is this so?

1) I want to write programs that will run on my iPod.
2) Apple doesn't want to help me, so they hide how to do this. You're "not allowed" to write iPod programs unless you're one of Apple's Annointed.
3) The Linux crowd also wanted to write programs for their iPods, so they ported Linux to it.
4) Linux is a fully open, anyone-can-help OS, and can be installed without losing the iPod's normal functions.
5) However, it's much easier to develop FOR Linux IN Linux (as opposed to Mac OS X), so I also installed Linux on my Mac.

Next I'll figure out what development software I need to install in Linux to target the iPod.

Then the fun begins...
