Firstly I don't have an iPhone and have no intention of getting one until it has the functionality I require (3G, decent camera, etc...) but why on earth would you want to run Linux on it? I own a Sharp Zaurus, I bought it to play with. But as a PDA is bloody useless. I kept changing the software, different versions from Sharp, different versions of Opie etc. and when ever something new worked something else didn't. I lost the ability to sync with Linux, or the ability to use bluetooth and connect to my cellphone, or IrDA failed, or the e-mail client was IMAP only.
Hardware is just hardware, its the software that matters. If you don't want iPhone software why buy an iPhone? Especially why buy one to run some incomplete software which has no quality control procedures and no guarantee...
