Yes it’s apparently true according to this website. Apparently Linux’s 2.6 Kernal has been ported to the Apple Iphone’s platform. Better yet, it’s also said to be available for both first and second generations of the device. However don’t get to excited yet. The source said that drivers are still missing, and it will still take a few more versions before the complete version of Linux gets implemented.

So here’s apparently what it has at this time:

- Framebuffer driver
- Serial driver
- Serial over USB driver
- Interrupts, MMU, clock, etc.

Here’s what their working on:

- Write support for the NAND
- Wireless networking
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Accelerometer
- Baseband support

There is also a demonstration video running around the Internet at this time via Vimeo video hosting. This video is about a three and a half minute long explanation on implementing and installing Linux 2.6 onto your Iphone.

People are still wondering what the point of this whole Linux/Iphone thing is all about. Well from what we’re getting from the source that first made this information available, it is meant to be an alternative operating system as compared to the traditional Iphone Operating System.
