The Devteam is at it again. This time, instead of unlocking your iPhone, one of the Devteam members has figured out how to get Linux to run on the iPhone and 1st-gen iPods. Follow the jump for more info.

I’m 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. 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.
