My 6 gig mini-ipod plays well with my thinkpad running Debian sid with 
customised 2.6.11.6 kernel. Straight after I plug in the device, the 
ipod icon appears on the screen and I can even use gtkpod to perform 
similar operations itunes does except I can't listen to others' music 
from the streaming, however there is a software lets you do that as well.
