try using wine.

gtkPod could work. Amarok might, but never tried it (for iPods). Note that this would most likely void your warranty.

wine works with Itunes

iTunes will work with WINE. But, Amarok, or Rhythmbox Music Player will work too.

Cheers!

Amarok does a decent job with iPod management, I dont have Linux installed now but I have run Amarok myself on a couple of distros without any probs in the past.
