What are podzillae?

"podzillae" is the plural form of the word "podzilla." podzilla is the user interface for iPodLinux, but there are so many variations of it cropping up everywhere that I decided to make a page for them.

Many podzillae have since disappeared, since their maintainers stopped supporting them or never supported them in the first place. Pretty much the only podzilla remaining today is podzilla2. The others will be listed on this page for historical reasons.

Podzilla and podzilla2 are the ONLY podzillae officially supported by the iPodLinux team.

podzilla2

podzilla 2 (pz2) is the next generation of podzilla. The user can chose which features she/he wants to have installed.

podzilla

podzilla (legacy) (pz0) is the old monolithic version of podzilla. It has been abandonned in favour of podzilla2.

Nightly Builds

These are the nightly builds of legacy podzilla that are built every night by davidc.

These are the nightly builds of podzilla2 that are built for every revision by Josh.

ZacZilla

ZacZilla is a build of podzilla0 that has many extra features. Mainly, iPod Video support. It is being built by zacaj.

FloydZilla is DansFloyd's build of podzilla. It has officially been discontinued, but the last version is still available for download.

ViPodzilla was the first variant of podzilla to come into existence. It was built by Zsombor Kovacs a.k.a. zsk009 to include support for viP. viPodzilla also included a bunch of games and applications not in cvs.
