No it doesn't work (well enough) in Linux. Sad isn't it? :)

Anyway there's this beta thing going on over at *www.zune-online.com/forum/linux-support-b12.0/ maybe you can follow that but you never know when it'll end up with a Cease and Desist thanks to back stabbers.

Since that place seems to have just a couple of users using Zune half brokenly on Linux, I think you would need to install Windows, yeah. :(

^yay can't be used in Linux:( that sux.
That hack you are talking about isn't very safe.
No ebook support(though possible through firmware upgrade in future)
No games(games for zune by 2008)

Good news:Zune version 2 is coming out.....and unlike Apple M$ is releasing 2.0 firmware upgrade for Zune version 1.:)
