I'm probably just being a curmudgeon, but I wish people talking about installing linux on iPods and similar devices would be clearer about whether they mean storing linux on an ipod (to execute on a host computer such as a mac or pc) versus executing linux on the ipod's processor. I would assume the latter from this title.

I fully agree (although I didn't think it was a problem before now). I figured the article was about actually running YDL on an Ipod, but it's simply about making an Ipod work as a Linux LiveCD.
That's a pretty misleading article extract IMHO.
