Thanks to OpeniBoot Linux can now run, in a hobbled state, on the iPhone. Woohoo! Unfortunately, Linux still lacks a lot of the support it needs, like touchscreen support, because running it on the iPhone is still in the early stages of development. The Geek Hero above gets it.

Linux has finally been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch. Several independent developers have masterminded the project, bringing everyone’s favorite open-source OS to Apple’s handhelds. It may not offer any touchscreen drivers, sound or WiFi support, its still the first step to hack heaven.

The team also has dropped hints that they may be thinking about porting Android in the near future. Below is a video of how to get the OS going on your iPhone and yeah, thank us later. Happy holidays.
