if you can’t figure it out with the software provided out of the box on linpus you can always download GTKpod which is an open-source alternative to itunes found here http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html
and also you can try banshee media player that offers synchronisation with an ipod you can find it here http://banshee-project.org/
if you have any problems come again

I think you’ll have to jailbreak your iPod to get it to work though. At least that was the state of the matter a year ago.

@reactor5 How do you jailbreak an iPod Mini?

ooh, iPod mini. I misread the question, I was really out of it. Your iPod mini should work awesomely :D

iTunes definitely doesn’t work, but there may be alternative applications such as GTKpod or Banshee that might be able to work with your iPod.
