The goals of the iPhone-Linux project are to port the full 2.6.x Linux operating system to the Apple iPhone, to create a system whereby users can easily use Linux on their iPhone, and to facilitate interoperability between Linux and Darwin/ARM.

So far only the Google-Code page has been created, it might be worth checking back from time to time…

Here is a very simple iPhone optimized web interface – it allows for basic control of the uTorrent client (ver. 1.7.5).

You can:

See the status of active torrents
Pause, resume a torrent
Add a new torrent by entering a url to torrent (or minimova id)

Right now that is all you can do.

MNPlight aims at getting rid of the need for a computer with iTunes. It runs on your iPhone, and is able to modify the iPhone calendar, address book and iPod databases.

MNPlight can be of particular interest for Linux users who don’t have iTunes, but it can also be used by other users when they want to update their iPhone data when they are away from their iTunes computer.

If you keep using iTunes, you may experiment problems with the Calendar and the Address Book since modifications done on your iPhone won’t be seen by iTunes.

Changes:

Calendar:
Former imported events can be edited
Can switch between different calendars
Safari-Plugin:
Download Radio-Playlists to MNPlight folder
With expertise level 1 in Preferences, can add mime-types to download
File Browser:
New form to upload a file to the iPhone

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

Changes:

* FLAC support
* Some optimizations from Robin_Watts 🙂
* Force screen redraw after rotation change (should fix the copy protection thing in Gob.
