[Geek]

<p>You’ll soon be able to run Linux on a select few iOS devices via a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/jailbreak/">jailbreak</a> hack. The port is being worked on by German iOS developer <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/BluerisEN">Patrick Wildt</a>, and while it’s not entirely clear when Linux for iOS will be released, he is expected to unveil it publicly at MyGreatFest, a jailbreaking convention that is being held on September 17th. </p>

<p>Supported hardware is said to include the original iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4th generation, but the iPad 2 with it’s A5 CPU is currently left out due to complications with the hardware.</p>

<p>Pretty geeky but cool find from <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/08/29/linux-on-idevice/">iDownload Blog</a>.</p>
