Zune-Online.com Interviews Steven Biars of the Zune-Linux Project

Posted by Darius Wey in "Zune Talk" @ 10:00 PM

"Earlier this month I talked to Steven Biars, member of the Zune-Linux project and the administrator of Zune-Linux.com site/forum. According to him the newly formed project is "an opportunity to unleash the power of Zune. Zune-Linux is not about money or fame, we're in this to better the Linux community and to better the capabilities of our Zunes"."

Even though the Zune-Linux project is still in its infancy, Zune-Online.com's interview is well worth a read if you're interested in seeing where the project is heading and what makes the Zune-Linux team tick. I know a few people who have held back from a Zune waiting for the day when it's capable of running a different platform, so despite the possibility of Z-L ruffling a few feathers in Microsoft's legal department, it might work to the company's advantage by way of increased sales.

Video of Zune Running Linux

Posted by Aaron Roma in "Zune Talk" @ 05:30 PM

"A tip like "omg its true. mys videl was really workin on teh zune linux." doesn't really inspire confidence -- in the story, or in the future of mankind -- but if this YouTube video is to be believed, it seems as if some foolio named "MysVidel," who can't even manage to get a camera to focus properly, has hacked up his Zune to run Linux."

A video has surfaced which apparently shows Linux running on a Zune. Unfortunately the "hacker" has spent too much time loading Linux, and not enough time learning to run a video camera, so the video is very poor to say the least. The question, though, is if this is a true hack, or a clever individual timing his button presses with cleverly created video playing on the Zune? The juror is still out, but I have my serious doubts about the legitimacy of this particular video.
