Linux op iPhone

I am pleased to announce that the Lin­ux 2.6 ker­nel has been port­ed to Apple’s iPhone plat­form, with sup­port for the first and sec­ond gen­er­a­tion iPhones as well as the first gen­er­a­tion iPod touch. Openi­boot, a open source boot­loader for the iPhone/iTouch built for the Lin­ux port. This is a rough first draft of the port, and many dri­vers are still miss­ing, but it’s enough that a real alter­na­tive oper­at­ing sys­tem is run­ning on the iPhone.
