It is known that linux community always develops new linux distributions for the new applications. It was natural that somebody tries to create a linux distribution for Apple’s ipod. A German computer student had received as a Christmas gift one ipod. He decided to install the linux on this apple’s player. As a matter of fact the hardware on his apple player was giving him some trouble. This gave him the motivation for creating linux for ipod. A British software engineer had developed a program. It was this program that this German student studied. The beauty of the free spirit of creativity associated with linux is very well reflected here. In this program this German student found that ipod made a click sound when it followed a command. For every byte he made a new click sound. Then he loaded all these clicks on his computer. Based on these sounds he wrote a computer code. After twenty hours of coding he installed this mue-Clinux. Now he had audio applications and some simple games to run on his ipod. This is how the basic ipod linux had taken its birth.
