Boot Ubuntu from iPod (HDD based.)

	Tossing around an idea for my next project...
I have a 30GB iPod 5th generation.
I was wondering if it's possible to get Ubuntu to boot from it, and 
still have iTunes use it as normal (with reduced capacity, of course)

	One method I thought of was to use GParted to shrink the existing 
partiton, to free up 10GB for Ubuntu partition.

	The other was to go the persistent/live USB key method. This might be 
the better option, since teh free space is usable by either iTunes/iPod, 
or Ubuntu.

	Any thoughts?
